I don't read too many novels that deal with kids so I don't really have a favorite literary family that is new to me this year. I will say that I really loved the family feeling from the Jonathan Mayberry Rot and Ruin series--it isn't traditional but it is solid!Felicia the Geeky Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960623537536038059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7282154254383058420.post-16572864353899914822012-10-24T23:23:30.886-05:002012-10-24T23:23:30.886-05:00That's exactly it.

And it is certainly possible to go through really tough things, even with a supportive family. I am proof positive of that. I think no families (especially in YA) is a convenient trope so the MC can be free to do whatever they want. Anyway, Teenie's siblings seem to be the normal siblings who love to torture each other but will not let anyone else get away with that.Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010634004221131416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7282154254383058420.post-68193118826449506372012-10-24T11:36:21.452-05:002012-10-24T11:36:21.452-05:00Lol.

Shiver Series) I would love to read more books were family is center in the strong female charater's life.

I couldn't think of one! I agree with you, in a general sense the BDB books have they're own unconventional family. <br /><br />It's really bugging me that I was unable to think of even one family to write about. :-) <br /><br />Happy Reading! <br />Tamara @ Shelf Addiciton<br />shelfaddiction.comTamara Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12937764039645192910noreply@blogger.com
