Books of My Childhood
8
items These books made such an impact that I'm still thinking of them as a 25 year old, and I plan to read them to my children.
I was OBSESSED with this series, it's the first collection of books that really got me into reading. It goes into a boy named Gregor falling into an underworld with his little sister, and he basically has to fulfill his prophecy of being a hero, whil...
Gregor The Underground Chronicles (Bk's 1-5 with a Bonus Journal)
I feel like this book might've stuck with me because of the strong female protagonist. It's not a story of a princess being saved; it's a story of a peasant girl saving herself, and her kingdom.
Dragon Slippers Dragon Slippers, (Paperback)
My earliest book-related memories land on this one. My teacher read it to the class, and I was fully enthralled by the adventures of these orphaned kids living in a boxcar. Definitely another book (or series - I believe there's 12 books) I'll read to...
Pre-Owned The Boxcar Children (Boxcar Children #1) (Paperback) 9780590426909
Can't remember much at all, but I know I enjoyed these books because I read a lot of them as a kid.
The Original Adventures of Hank the Cowdog (Paperback)
Of course, A Series of Unfortunate Events. I was pretty sucked into the story about the orphaned kids that pretty much had to rely on each other (each has a unique talent) to survive.
Pre-Owned The Bad Beginning (A Series of Unfortunate Events #1) (Paperback) 0439206472 9780439206471
This is my first spooky book, which spiraled into me reading many more books by Mary Downing Hahn - she was my favorite author for awhile.
Wait Till Helen Comes: A Ghost Story, (Paperback)
The book is so much better than the movie. I couldn't even read another book for months after finishing this one because I just knew no other book would measure up to how this one made me feel, so I had to take a break to really let it all sink in.
The Book Thief (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this series. It follows a teen girl's story of survival after a meteor knocks the moon closer to the earth, and all the catastrophic changes that came with it.
Life as We Knew It The Life as We Knew It 4-Book Collection, (Paperback)
