Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday!

This week: Ten Childhood Characters You’d Love To Revisit As Adults! With some favourite characters, like Mia Thermopolis, Jessica Darling, or Hermione Granger, I’ve had the tremendous luck to be able to follow them into adulthood AND love who they had become. Some characters that I love…well, I’m not sure I’d want to revisit as I genuinely want to leave them as I adore and remember them.
But who else would I like to revisit as an adult? In no particular order, here are my picks. The characters are mostly from the teen genre, some old and beloved favourites, and some wonderfully memorable characters from recently read stand-out YA:
- Anna Bloom from Julie Halpern’s Anna Bloom series
- Clarissa and Benji from Vikki VanSickle’s Clarissa Delaney series
- Hadley from Jennifer E. Smith’s The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight
- Hermione and Polly from E.K. Johnston’s Exit, Pursued by a Bear. Recently read, I highly recommend this one; Hermione’s narrative voice was SO GOOD.
- Amanda Hardy from Meredith Russo’s If I Was Your Girl
- Elizabeth Clarry from Jaclyn Moriarty’s Feeling Sorry for Celia
- Jill and Mandy from Sara Zarr’s How to Save a Life
- Daisy and Hazel from Robin Stevens’ Wells and Wong mystery series
- Annabeth from Hilary T. Smith’s A Sense of the Infinite
- Henry from Susin Nielsen’s The Reluctant Journal of Henry K. Larsen
Which characters would you like to revisit?

Fab Book Reviews 
I would love to see what happened to Jill and Mandy for How to Save a Life also. That was a tough book. I don’t think I liked one single character, and yet I still enjoyed the book. Also I really want to read Exit, Pursued by a Bear… I’ve only heard good things!!
I have not yet read the books on your list, but they are definitely on my TBR! Especially The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight is high on the list as it seems to be the perfect summer read 🙂
YES! Hadley sounds like a great pick. I’ve not read this particular Jennifer E. Smith novel, but do love her writing. Plus, isn’t “Statistical” the novel being adapted as a film? Cannot wait for that one!’
Thanks SO much for visiting Finding Wonderland.
