"A book should leave you slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it."

Alright friends of the blog world. I need your help. While talking to a good friend last night, the subject of excellent books that we read when we were younger came up. We decided that we would each make a list for the other of our favorite childhood books and then exchange them. SO. The great unanswered question is this: What books do I put on my list? (Sara, this isn't cheating. It's helpful hints. And you can't comment because you have to make your own list.)

Here's what I've got so far:

-Harriet the Spy

-The Westing Game

-From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Franweiler

-The Phantom Tollbooth

-Doll House Murders

-The BFG

-An Old Fashioned Girl

-Bridge to Terabithia

-Number the Stars

-Stargirl

-Holes

-Catherine, Called Birdy

-A Wrinkle in Time

-The Egypt Game

-My Brother Sam is Dead

-Walk Two Moons

-Maniac Magee 

-The Chocolate Touch

-Beauty

-Tuck Everlasting

-Charlotte's Web

-Castle in the Attic

-The Shoes Books by Noel Steatfield
