I have a friend who works at a feminist bookstore and is trying to build up the juvenile fiction collection. She's looking for recs of girl-friendly interesting fiction for older children.
Chris Wooding`s Poison stars an awesome female character, and I can vouch that it`s an awesome story. It has fairies and changelings and crossing over worlds, and delicious stories.
Mette Ivie Harrison also has a really good novel out called Mira Mirror. It`s basically a reimagining of the Snow White story, except from the perspective of the mirror and the Queen, many, many years after the downfall of the Queen and the tale of Snow White has passed. All very strong female characters in that novel, and all except for two guys are leading ladies. =D
