Chocolate's thoughts

I decided to make a list of the girls in contemporary young literature that are brainy and dedicated and are cool for that. Goin through the book I've read recently, I was surprised that there aren't that many, I guess that makes them more special but I hope the list grows. I would love to hear more smart girls you have found. 

Anyway, here they are, first is Lindy, and just like the original Belle, she loves books, but in this adaptation she is also convinced that studying hard is what will help her to have a better life, she is not the girl that waits for her prince to rescue her, after all she is and independent girl from the XXI and her life hasn't been easy. 

Then we have the amazing Sydney Sage. She is my favorite one of course, they should give Richelle Mead a medal because smart girls rock thanks to her. She has made seconday characters take the lead in the most awesome way. Sydney is not only smart because the Alchemist formation but she has prove to be beyond that, she is a heroine that uses her brain instead of her strength. 

Hermione is a must have in the list, Harry wouldn't have survive without her. She have this photographic memory that makes her a walking library. 

The next one, probably not many people know her. April is the oldest one of the three sisters with special powers. She is the responsable one, who has good grades and respects the rules (oh yeah I identified with her not just for her name). Oh, and I haven't mention the cool part, her super power is that she can see the future! 

Then there's India Jane. And I know, how did she get here if she struggle to catch up in her new school? Well, that's because she makes a hard choice in order to have better grades because she know is important for her future. She is one of those characters that are good role models for girls. I haven't seen such a mature and realistic character.

And finally we have Leslie, the best friend of Gwendolyn. As a good girl of this era, she knows she has internet to help them in everything they need to know. And she can solve secret codes as good as a detective. As she would say, one of them needs to have the clear head and her hilarious explanation about what the hearts are made of: g-e-n-i-u-s.
