I know funky mentioned this, but I loved the Chronicles of Narnia books. I read the entire series in 5th grade I think. good stuff. And I've heard its got a bunch of Christian symbolism, but as a kid, I didn't pick up on it, and it was just good fantasy.
yeah i love those books. i read them all the time. to this day when i reread them i don't pick up on it. maybe its stupidity but i just see a childrens book.
i love them too...i still keep my set on my bookshelf instead of packed away in the basement with all the other books i was "too old" to read but couldn't bear to throw away. (cough *nerd* cough)
