Tuck Everlasting, The Giver, A Wrinkle in Time and The Lion, Witch and Wardrobe were all favorites when I was younger.

I was always so interested in all things Egypt and have such fond memories of reading this book.

Frankweiler, Harriet the Spy</i> and <i>Matilda</i>.Chachichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10216391673830772231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-77121587069039305872010-04-25T18:54:03.353+02:002010-04-25T18:54:03.353+02:00I'm glad THE THIEF was on both your list and t...I'm glad THE THIEF was on both your list and theirs!

I remember small snippets, parts of scenes, but I can't remember what I loved about it.

Harry Potter would steal my number one spot for the best childrens chapter books each and every time. I read the first book when I was 11, and I grew up with the characters. The world Rowling built was just this epic thing to my mind when I was younger.<br /><br />I loved The BFG and Charlottes Web so so much when I was younger too. And The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe was magical and still is. I would've put Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry on the list too, because that book really opened my eyes to how fickle some people in the world can be and really affected me when I was younger.<br /><br />This is making me so nostalgic, may have to re-read some of that Harry Potter magic! Plus, I haven't ever read Holes, but now I am itching too! Fabulous postCarlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776814809468436342noreply@blogger.com
