Heroes of Children's Literature

The Guardian names ten of the best heroes of children's literature. I miss Harry Potter, Scout and Jem of To Kill a Mockingbird, Fern and Charlotte of Charlotte's Web, and the many children in the Chronicles of Narnia. Do you agree with this list? Who are your favorites?

  1. I can't believe an English publication would not include the Pevensie children or Harry Potter! And what about Alice? Or Peter Pan?

  2. Seems strange, right? Peter Pan and Alice are definite oversights. MIA: the Pevensies, Eustace and Jill, Max from Where the Wild Things Are, Maniac Magee, Ramona Quimby. Who else?
