I used to read very different kinds of books, so don't expect this to be your typical kids booklist—more like a weirder version (except for some mainstream ones). There are recs of books both in Spanish and in English

My all-time favorite childhood series!!! I was such a huge fan (and kinda still am). I've downloaded them all in my eBook to read them again

A work of art. Best part is that it's suitable for children and adults—and both should definitely read it. As a kid, I would enjoy it so much
The Little Prince

Very popular for a reason. I have such a good memory of this saga
Anne of Green Gables

Brings so many memories back from my childhood. I went through it countless times, and I'm sure someday I will again. David Walliams always hits.

I read it on my own and then for school, and enjoyed it so much both times
Gangsta Granny by David Walliams

Although I only read the first two, I loved this saga and the main character. I still can't believe they're older than I thought they would be
The Ruby in the Smoke (Sally Lockhart Series #1)

I still remember reading this series pretty vividly. I definitely had a thing for fantasy and mystery when I was younger

Spanish

I loved this book so much. It criticizes the current society we live in, in a way both children and adults can understand and enjoy
Momo (Spanish Edition) by Michael Ende, Paperback

The way I've probably gone through it at least five times is insane. It's a shame for non-Spanish speakers though
Todas las hadas del reino

I cannot express the love I had for this book. I still keep it as closer to me as possible.
La vida secreta de Rebecca Paradise

Again, it's in Spanish, but it's one of my favorite childhood book series forever. I've cried-laughed myself to sleep over these
Manolito Gafotas by Elvira Lindo
