Bre’er Rabbit!
Oh man, it’s been at least a decade or two since I’ve seen that name. Enid Blyton FTW!
Hows about Johnny Tremain?
Wow! That’s an awesome list — I love this list!
Good list.
I think Holden Caulfield’s a bit old though?
I would replace with Zazie from ‘Zazie dans le metro’. Foul-mouthed, free-spirited, causing mischief around the streets of Paris while avoiding the custody of her drag-queen uncle.
What nonsense to include Oliver Twist as” a rascal”.He was a brave little fellow who overcame overwhelming odds.Read the book!..Come to think of it, remember his version of “yes we can” was “can I have some more?”.A spokesman and a hero.
No Just William?

Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables. She’s always getting into trouble.
Litlle My, Little My, Little My…
Another vote for Zazie.
