Harriet the Spy. Obviously. Please reshuffle and try again.
Also, just curious--no Harry Potter anywheres?
I've read 6.5 of these. But Where the Red Fern Grows? Bored me to death. That's why there's a ".5"
I love them all but "wrinkle in time" come on, too bizzarre
But Where the Red Fern Grows scarred me for life!! No child should be reading that!
The others I take no umbrage with.
Wow. You and my sister actually were made for one another...
How is the Series of Unfortunate Events not somehow on this list? Couldn't you bump WTRFG or CW (you have my full support for the rest) and put the whole series in somehow?
I have to agree whole-heartedly with 6, 5 and 3. Some of my absolute favorites of all time.
And I huh-ate Bridge to Teribithia.
I was reorganizing a lot of my kids' books last night and this morning, actually, in preparation for the book sale near my house where hardcovers are $1 and paperbacks are $.50. I own some of these, but should own more after this weekend.
All fabulous! Thank you! I would add The Hobbit, were it my list. But, then I'd have 11. Hope you guys are doing well!
