4. Rosa Hubermann, The Book Thief

A force to be reckoned with, she adopts Liesel and loves her as her own. She is outspoken and appears harsh but we know different. She’s a pussycat really, but one that won’t stand for nonsense.

Dramatic, self-involved and pushy; and yet there’s something delightful in her ridiculousness that makes Mrs Bennet simply a loving mother endearingly misguided in her pursuit for the best for her children.

She’s a spy. She’s a really cool, dangerous, brave spy who is doing everything to protect her daughter. If your mum was a secret agent you’d be a little chuffed too no?
