Young Adult Book Reading Challenges discussion

1. Hayden Fire Dancer from the Seven Realms Quartet. The best character in the whole series. Capable but not overconfident. Gets down to business.
2. Klaus Baudelaire from A Series of Unfortunate Events. My favorite Baudelaire sibling. So intelligent and humble.
3. Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter. He feels so human, and I can relate to him. Sometimes, you want to do the right thing, and you just don't always do it.

Hmmm. Can't remember any more at the moment, but I'll probably just edit them in as I remember them.

I really identify with Anne of Green Gables and Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series, but I think my favorite YA character of all time is Cathy Dollanganger. Her series follows her through most of her life, and she's totally screwed up and flawed and just feels real.

Since I love YA books, I would have to say Patch from the Hush, Hush series. These books made me laugh out loud and even though it is fantasy, I could picture the story in my head, which is what any memorable character or story should be able to do.

Rudy from The Book Thief
Saba AND Jack from Blood Red Road
Johnny from The Outsiders
Violet from Feed

Leisel and Papa Hubberman from The Book Thief
Bean from Ender's Shadow
Conner from Impulse
Mayor Prentiss from the Chaos Walking Trilogy - best villain ever!

I have a lot...

Po from Graceling
Cabel Strumheller from Wake
Elias from The Dead-Tossed Waves
Bones from Halfway to the Grave
Alex Fuentes Perfect Chemistry
Jacob - North of Beautiful
Brian - Rock Me

I know he is a secondary character in these books, but I absolutely LOVE Magnus Bane in the Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices series......his personality, wit, and interactions with the other characters are hilariously classic!
