The ones that come immediately to mind and that haven't been mentioned so far ... My Side of the Mountain, Children on the Oregon Trail, I Capture the Castle, Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea books, Terry Pratchett's Trilogy, Truckers, Diggers and Wings, and his Tiffany Aching books, Wind in the Willows. But ask me again another day and I'll probably have a different list.Annie Cholewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608057589525908147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-39806124185707288552014-07-31T21:10:35.579+01:002014-07-31T21:10:35.579+01:00I loved Madeleine L'Engle's Wrinkle in Tim...I loved Madeleine L'Engle's Wrinkle in Time series, Monica Furlong's Wise Child and Juniper (I still want to be Juniper when I grow up), all of the weird books by Zilpha Keatley Snyder, E.L. Konigsburg's From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, and Mandy by Mary Poppins herself, Julie (Andrews) Edwards, because what could be better than having one's own secret cottage and garden in the woods??Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05932228002267520123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-21439318244830649732014-07-31T14:49:58.950+01:002014-07-31T14:49:58.950+01:00Wow -- that sounds like a great book.

I have so many favorite children's books, but the standouts from my childhood are The Yearling by Marjorie Kinan Rawlings and The Girl of the Limberlost by Gene Stratton Porter.
