A fab guest post on my children’s literature blog which discusses Eustacia (arrant little prig of the Chalet School) and Eustace (dragon-dude from Narnia). Go have a look! ;-)

“My trump kipper”

Runaways
thismomentsforwomenincomics: Not really a “moment” per se, but rather the point that a series like this is out there at all. First of all, there are more women on that team than there are men - currently four and a half women/girls (counting Xavin) and two and a half men/boys (again: Xavin). And second of all, the traditionally male roles of the leader and the muscle are both given to...

One sentence. I’m crying. Not quiet,...
