I was such a big nerd when I was little. I read EVERYTHING. The bearenstein bears and Blueberries for Sal were key when I was little. But then my Mom got hardcore and wouldn't let me read things under a certain age level or without a caldecott or newberry honor medal. So I would sneak off to the library and leave books in my desk at school. I liked the Boxcar children and Roald Dahl books (Matilda, The Twits, BFG, James and the Giant Peach)--way funny. And the big tearjerker, Where the Red Fern Grows. Man I loved that book.
aw man . . . that was my FAV book back in the day . . . Where The Red Fern Grows . . . I'm actually getting teary-eyed reminiscing about it right now . . .
Roald Dahl is awesome! Did you ever read Danny the Champion of the World? That one was great. I also loved the Anastasia books and I was completely hooked on anything by Cynthia Voigt (Homecoming, Dicey's Song, etc) or Madeleine L'Engle (A Wrinkle In Time)... hmm looks like I was a big nerd when I was little too. Oh wait, I'm still a big nerd. haha
A Wrinkle in Time is pretty much my favorite book ever
i don't understand this...that book comes up periodically, we always decide it's demonized, adn yet still it's forreste's favorite book
