How interesting Anna about your choice of POV when it comes to the male/female voices. I would think it would be the other way around.

Alex (the dead & the gone) and Finn (Incarceron) are also told in 3rd POV but their voice still came through really strong and both of those characters were so strong and unique.

Another vote for Jonas from The Giver – even though it’s not first person, his voice is still really strong and believable.

I find that when I write male characters, they always come out in first person, whereas my female ones tend to be in third. I have no idea why that is!

I’ve heard great things about Reggie’s character, Jeannine.

Can’t wait to read Superzero. It’s in my leaning tower of books to read.

Reggie from 8th Grade Superzero. I haven’t finished it yet, but I am just amazed at how the author has completely jumped into the head of this age group, particularly a boy!!

Oops – forgot to mention I have an award for you over at my blog :)

I have a hubby, a son & a bunch of boys in my classes, so I don’t find it too hard to get into the male pov!
