Books What If Harry Potter Had Been A Girl? The New Series To Share With Your Kids Jessica Townsend’s new series is the mystical female-led read your kids have been waiting for. By Astrid Edwards Books Jessica Townsend’s new series is the mystical female-led read your kids have been waiting for.

It’s a valid point Future Women’s editor-at-large, Jamila Rizvi, is known for pointing out. And one can’t help but question how different the world may be in 2019 if Harry had originally been written as a girl. Would boys have been dressing up as the female lead for the last two decades (as girls have been dressing up as Harry Potter)?Now, nothing can replace the joy J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series brought to so many children (and lets face it, adults too). But we may now have something of an answer to the question. Jessica Townsend’s Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow and the sequel Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow centre around 11-year-old Morrigan Crow, the feisty lead. Nevermoor: The trials of Morrigan Crow and Wundersmith: The calling of Morrigan Crow are suitable for readers 8 years and older. makingbooksgreatagain Best Of Future Women Culture “Never an excuse”: Why Katrina still can’t stand the smell of bourbon By Sally Spicer Culture Janine never thought divorce would mean losing her family and friends By Sally Spicer Culture “Invisible victims”: Why Conor was forced to live in an unsafe home By Sally Spicer Culture Miranda*’s mothers group helped her escape abuse.
