Totally, re: Nita and Meg. Oh, Meg. I loved Planet so much as a kid, in part because I envied being able to unfold family history. Then too, neither Nita nor Meg had the internet as kids, and the density of geek(-compatible) girls in any locale tends to be very low. My two best friends from HS are female, and they are still my two best friends (thanks in large part to internet connectivity, I must say); most of my other HS friends were male.

Yes. Heh. Me neither. I have been a little afraid to try Paterson's better known Terebithia as a result.
