Keep up the suggestions, everyone! For the poll, I'm planning on having it so you can select more than one heroine, so don't be afraid to make a lot of suggestions!
Oh! Ada Clare! I think that was who I was going to suggest. I'm glad somebody else thought of it.
ReplyDeleteAnd Sara Stanley was a good idea too! But if she's in there, I think Felicity King from Road to Avonlea should be in there as well...;-) (Even though she's not as nice as Sara, and I guess Sara is more of a heroine, but she's not in the last season or two)
