The first time a book ever made me cry.
Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls
This was a good one from start to finish.
The Giver
So damn trippy! One of those books you literally lose yourself in.
The Neverending Story - Books
A classic. And it's not even boring.
A Wrinkle in Time (Time Quintet, #1) by Madeleine L'Engle
So much better than the movie!
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)
What a shame they bastardized this project in more recent times. The OG was classic gangsta.
Harriet the Spy - Fitzhugh, Louise: Books
A must have for your kiddo's budding library.
Where the Sidewalk Ends - Shel Silverstein
The only thing wrong is that it's TOO SHORT!
A Wind in the Door (Wrinkle in Time #2)
Oh my! Weren't these books a riot!
Sideways Stories from Wayside School - Books
This was so cool!
Sideways Arithmetic From Wayside School - Sachar
Books like these made me love to read!
The Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks
Splendid.
The Secret Garden (HarperClassics) Burnett
One of the classics. Don't die until you read this.
A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Get Alice AND the Looking Glass. Two effin classics!
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Looking Glass
Freaking amazing.
Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator - Dahl
So totally cool in its day!
James-and-the-Giant-Peach-1.pdf
Totally taboo!
Flowers in the Attic (Dollanganger, #1) by V.C. Andrews
I remember secretly reading this book. Wow!
Dawn (Cutler): Andrews, V.C.
I know it's ghostwritten, but I didn't know it at the time. And it happened to stay with me for a long time. Well done, I'll say.
My Sweet Audrina (The Audrina Series)
This was a close call. I was on the fence but decided to include it for the premise alone. Happy reading!
