Top Ten Book Characters That Remind You of You or Someone You Know

1. Lola from Lola And The Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins: One of my good friends, Gus, reminds me somewhat of Lola from Lola and the Boy Next Door. Gus' personality doesn't necessarily mirror Lola's, however her love of fashion does. Gus is always talking about the clothing store Anthropology, and she regularly raids thrift stores. In fact, Gus and my other friend Ramona have a fashion blog. Click here to see it. 

2. Rosalind from The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall: One of my best friends, Finlay, reminds me a lot of Rosalind from The Penderwicks. Finlay always keeps the peace/order and is a wonderful, wonderful sister. Finlay jokes around and isn't as uptight as Rosalind, but her care for other people is like Rosalind's. 


3. Rue from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins: Finlay's little sister, Willa, reminds me a little bit of Rue. Willa is like a stick of dynamite. She does back flips left and right, is extremely adventurous, and is a volleyball rock star. Her athletic abilities remind me of Rue. If Willa wanted to, I'm sure she could swing from tree branches.


4. Payton from Sean Griswold's Head by Lindsey Leavitt: Willa from Willa's Ramblings (a different Willa than Willa from #3) reminds me a smidge of Payton from Sean Griswold's Head. Willa is very organized, and likes things to be in order. Payton color coats everything, and is a very neat person, so Willa reminds me of her. One time Willa came over and my room, well....it was not looking like the people from Extreme Home Makeovers had come over. The messiness of the room greatly peeved Willa, so she set to work and started organizing and cleaning.

5. Stargirl from Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli: My piano teacher reminds me a lot of Stargirl. My piano teacher is very free-spirited, and extremely kind. She believes in random acts of kindness, and is a great listener. The way that my piano teacher does things a little differently, and is an amazing person reminds me of Stargirl.
