This week's top of the heap: Best story broods
Fairday: I have to shout out to Gregor and Boots from the Gregor the Overlander series by Suzanne Collins. Boots just cracks me up, and I see so much of my little sister, Margo, in her. Gregor cherishes his little sister, and always tries to protect her. But, Boots has a natural ease with her surroundings, and in the end, usually ends up pointing him in the right direction. After all, she is the princess of the crawlers!
Lizzy: There are so many fabulous sibling relationships in the books I read. When I look at the brothers and sisters that I would like to be a part of, I can’t help but think of the Weasleys. Ginny, Ron, Fred, George, Percy, Charlie, and Bill are each so interesting and their interactions show their love and respect for each other. It would be a blast to be a part of their family and share their inside jokes and traditions. I especially enjoy the way Ginny holds her own with all of her older brothers. She has such a strong spirit and a unique relationship with each brother. Of course, the banter and complex relationships between the boys is also amazing. Still, Ginny learns to be her own person, but each of her brothers play a role in shaping who she is and what she believes. The Weasleys are a family that I would join in a heartbeat!
"The thing about growing up with Fred and George is that you sort of start thinking anything's possible if you've got enough nerve."
-- Ginny Weasley
Fred and George are so cool! I love Ginny's quote. it's perfect. Fun post, thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine, Thanks for stopping by to share your thoughts! Fred and George are hysterical : ) ~ F
DeleteI love the Weasleys! It would be fun to be part of their family. Gregor is such a great brother to Boots. She is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteTrey- I couldn't agree more! ~L
DeleteGreat choices! I also like the brother and sister from Fablehaven. They are friends, but they argue too.
ReplyDeleteFlex- Thanks! I like Seth and Kendra, too! They both bring something different to the books and their relationship is easy to relate to for anyone with a sibling. ~L
DeleteThat's such a great quote there by Ginny. The Weasley's are one of the great siblings in fiction out there. Out of the top of my head I would have to say Daphne and Sabrina Grimm-The Grimm Sisters.
ReplyDeleteHi Adriana, We love that quote too! It really gives Ginny a whole, new depth of character. The Grimm sisters are fabulous! Thanks for mentioning them. Wonderful to hear from you! Thanks for stopping by : ) ~ F
DeleteI love the Weasleys too but probably my favourites are Julian, his younger brother Dick and sister Anne from Enid Blyton’s Famous Five books. I grew up wishing they were my brothers and sister!
ReplyDeleteBarbara- I have heard so much about Enid Blyton's Famous Five. I think I will have to read one! They sound like such fun. ~F
DeleteI love the Weasleys and the brother and sister in Fablehaven. Siblings are great company on adventures, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteDonna- Siblings sure do add some spice to life! ~F
