Say It on Sunday: My Ocean's 11 Team

This week's topic: My Dream Team Ocean's 11 Style

By now you've realized how much I heart FYA. When they interview an author, they ask, "If you could assemble your own Ocean's 11 of fictional characters, who would you pick?"

  1. Me. Can't leave myself out of my own dream team, can I?
  2. Frankie Landau-Banks from The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart. Frankie would be our mastermind. Her brilliant and detailed plans could get us into even the most guarded of places.
  3. Bastille from the Alcatraz series by Brandon Sanderson. Her fearlessness and skill with a sword is essential if we ever get in a sticky situation where brute force is our only way out.
  4. Turtle from The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin. Every team needs a good shin kicker.
  5. Tiffany Aching from the Tiffany Aching series by Sir Terry Pratchett. Her cool head and quick thinking will hopefully keep us from needing Bastille and Turtle. Also her abilities to whisk away pain and to play with fire would be immensely helpful.
  6. Sally Lockheart from the Sally Lockheart series by Philip Pullman. She'll keep our finances straight and track down bad guys to get even with.
  7. Katarina Bishop from Heist Society by Ally Carter. She's a master thief with the ability to break into anything.
  8. Lisbeth Salander from the Millenium series by Stieg Larsson. Tough as nails and has mad hacking skills.
  9. Tally Youngblood from the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld. No one would ever catch her on her hover board.
  10. Flavia de Luce from the Flavia de Luce series by C. Alan Bradley. This 11 year old is an expert at chemistry, mainly poisons. I'd rather have her on my side, thank you.
  11. Amelia Peabody Emerson from the Amelia Peabody series. Our team needs a financier, and Mrs. Emerson has more than enough to go around. Her feminist views will keep the boys from even thinking about messing with us, and she'll most definitely keep us on track.
I would have no problem in covering Danny Ocean's sequels, either, but I'll leave them for another time. Who would be on your Ocean's 11 team?
