From the first ride to Green Gables with Matthew where she named each beautiful feature of her new home to her bossom friend Diana, Anne's earnestness and appreciation for love and kindness was so captivating and endearing. I have read the series many times and can't wait to read it with my daughter.Brauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13936532596326363696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154649481632827304.post-67697691845009212372011-03-28T19:02:13.802-04:002011-03-28T19:02:13.802-04:00My BFF was Ramona Quimby when I was growing up.

I still have all of her books to share with my little boy (because EVERY boy should read about adventuresome women). <br /><br />As I got older, Charlotte Bronte was good company, but I became swept up with Usagi Tsukino as "Sailor Moon", one of the first manga I got my hands on as a teenager.Booksphinxhttp://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=100000570329102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154649481632827304.post-4624409569882309922011-03-23T10:37:12.558-04:002011-03-23T10:37:12.558-04:00Joe Hardy and Roger Hunt were the younger brothers...Joe Hardy and Roger Hunt were the younger brothers in "The Hardy Boys Mysteries" and "Amazon Adventure respectively. I was a younger brother too, and felt as my own their being held back by a benevolently dominant older brother. All of us came through eventually. I wonder if the authors (Edward Stratemeyer and Willard Price) were younger brothers too.

I just blogged about my girls' growing friendship today, so it was sweet to read about sister love here as well.<br /><br />My first childhood literary BFF would have to be Jesse from the Box Car Children series. Those were the first chapter books I remember reading vividly on my own. I loved Jesse's relationship with Watch, the dog, in particular. <br /><br />As far as my adult literary BFF, there are so many possibilities that I'm going to have to think about this for a while and come back again to respond. I like The Mom's list quite a bit - you inspire me to go back to some of those old classics!Zane Schwaigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01740329081919108222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154649481632827304.post-54080950904429293082011-03-16T18:07:56.696-04:002011-03-16T18:07:56.696-04:00Dear Big Sister-I too would pick Anne (but be SURE...Dear Big Sister-I too would pick Anne (but be SURE to spell it with an "E" my dear-very important!.<br />I'd sprinkle in a little of Louise from Katherine Paterson's "Jacob Have I Loved" and round it off with a bit of Hermoine Granger.ameliamccnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154649481632827304.post-31835194644041272272011-03-16T16:02:28.044-04:002011-03-16T16:02:28.044-04:00My literary BFF would be Elizabeth Bennett, no que...My literary BFF would be Elizabeth Bennett, no question. Sly comments and observations about friends and neighbors over tea and pride in who and what we are. <br /><br />I also think of Anne Shirley as a kindred spirit and certainly would have loved to grow up pretending with her and Diana. As an adult she was such a kind, interesting woman she would be the kind of friend you love to go visit or have her family visit.<br /><br />Claudia Kincaid (from Mixed up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler) would be a great person to know! Anyone who would decide to live in the library at 11 (almost 12), has to grow up to be a very interesting young woman!Amy Shamroehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305160822245437266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154649481632827304.post-25430203684853032502011-03-16T11:30:41.996-04:002011-03-16T11:30:41.996-04:00The three girls that I really want to be BFF's...The three girls that I really want to be BFF's with really badly:<br /><br />Ann --Ann of Green Gables, because I love her imagination.<br /><br />Emma --Tales of the Frog Princess, because I love to be friend with someone who can work magic and turn into a dragon!<br /><br />Last but not least! Enola Holmes --from her self titled series, because I think it woul dbe fun to be friends with a 14 year old detective that lived on her own in England, wasn't afraid and rather liked being alone. Oh, and she always carries a "dagger in her bosom" (not that she has a bosom!)The Big Sisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090091856926363366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154649481632827304.post-68444757576807562992011-03-16T11:25:43.406-04:002011-03-16T11:25:43.406-04:00I would like Poppy's Babies as my BFF --from t...I would like Poppy's Babies as my BFF --from the Brambly Hedge books by Jill Barklem --Poppy has THREE babies and I think they would be CUUUUUUUte and it would be fun to have triplets as best friends!<br /><br />The Mom adds that the Brambly Hedge books are going to be reissued!!
