Very insperational book that blew my 5th grade mind

My favorite is A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I grew up with it, and as a little girl I dreamed of being Sara Crewe.

[Naomi]

The Secret Garden, Alice in Wonderland and even though it's so damn sad I always liked The Little Match Girl.

[Gravy]

The Neverending Story takes the cake for me.
No other will ever come close.
But that's another story, and shall be told another time.

I remember as a child my favourite series of books was Deltora Quest written by Emily Rodda, which I read over and over again. Otherwise, from what I can remember, another long series of short novels I used to read was The Phantom Stallion written by Terri Farley.

I remember loving Charlotte's Web and years later The Giver and The Golden Compass.

Heidi, Cherry Ames, nurse, Bambi, Nancy Drew...

[RebekaV]

The Little Princess, The Secret Garden and Alice in Wonderland. Though I didn't read any of them when I was a child I found them very moving as an adult.

[Gravy]

Though I already listed The Neverending Story I have to also say The Hundred And One Dalmatians by Dodie Smith

[cbmatte07]

I grew up with many of the classic oldies like Heidi, Charlotte's Web, Huckleberry Fin, Aesop's Fables ect... They are everlasting memories of early childhood books. One in particular I remember, Tuck Everlasting. I would say it is more of a preteen category for age group but it was a book that led your imagination and emotions to the edge of fictional reality (it feels like it can be real).
Aside from that it was Babysitter's Club, Goosebumps, R L Stine ect...

My favourite children's book is The City of Ember series.

This series is about a girl and boy, Lina and Doon. Both of them live in the city of ember. The city of Ember has been built many years ago underground, when the world was on the verge of a catastrophe, in an effort to save the human race from extinction.

The city of ember was lit with electricity, and it stores were filled with food and all the supplies people needed to survive for many years after the catastrophe. The people of ember however don't know anything about the world or the catastrophe, they don;t know that there is a whole world with a sky and a sun and a moon above them. All they know is that the city of ember is only light in the darkness.

When the electricity generator stats to fail however and the supplies in the city of ember start to run out, the people of ember start to worry that there will come a day where there will be no food, and the generator would fail and would all be plunged in darkness.

Lina and Doon set on a journey to save their people from the darkness and to find a way out of the city of ember. This book is really thrilling and exciting. Both characters Lina and Doon are very interesting, they are curious, brave, kind and full of imagination, not to mention real smart. They both embark on very exiting adventures with the hope of saving their people. They end up discovering amazing things about the world and about Themselves. I really recommend these books for children and adults alike.

The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norton Juster

Also I used to love anything by Louis Sachar.

[Airam Velarde]

My favorite books as a child were The Little House on the Prairie series, Goosebumps, and Anne of Green Gables.

[Alden Loveshade]

There are many I love, but probably Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I got a lot more out of it reading it as an adult than I did reading it as a kid.

[Brianaporter]

Dr. Seuss's One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. I absolutely adore that book. It was actually the first book I ever read. I can appreciate his work so much because even though it's meant for children it always has a underlying message that really hits home. Like in this book he speaks on diversity and how it's ok and we should respect it because were all different.
