Strangely, "Animal farm" by George Orwell..... and "Watership down"....
The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart
A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket
I listened to the Mysterious Benedict Society, and the only reason I didn't like it was because the narrator sucked.
I was a hardcore fairytale fan, from Disney to when I got older, the Grimm Brother's versions. I loved reading fables and legends from all over the world as well.
omg yes. my favorite genre is fantasy and a close second being romance, so I absolutely loved the fairytales growing up. which one was your favorite?
Omg so many where to start...
1. Keeper of the Lost Cities (Sokeefe fan to those who've read it)
2. The Hunger Games
3. The House in the Cerulean Sea
4. Harry Potter (Duh)
5. Hooky
"The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" (C. S. Lewis). It was the only book I really had access to, to be honest. I read it in 3rd class (8-9 years old), because it was the book in the school's, albeit small, library that caught my eye, and I loved the book. Read it quite a few times that year, maybe three. The best thing was when it was chosen to be (the next school year's) novel for class-reading. Knew the whole thing lol.
Apart from that, I only read Jacqueline Wilson books, but I didn't really like them. They were okay, just didn't float my boat.
The Little House series, by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Though she focuses on Laura - actually herself - and I'm a boy - the fact that these were true stories of another time and the wonderful detail of "how to" everything - was fascinating. Now- I live in a Little House. And still read the books. Actually live on land I can imagine Pa hunted on- it's close enough to one of the places they lived, though it's not in the books.
Anne of Green gables. I really identified with Anne and her confident oddness.
Eloise by Kay Thompson
The Incredible Journey by Sheila Burnford
My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George
The Once and Future King by T.H. White
Harry Potter, duh (also yeah I know, J.K. Rowling is a bigot, but her books were pretty great). I never really enjoyed reading until I started Harry Potter, but because of those books, I began to love to read.
KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES!!!!
Anything by Joyce Stranger, Walter Farley and Gobelina the witches cat. Soz can’t remember the author.
The giving tree, an abridged version of A little princess, the velveteen rabbit, any thesaurus, dictionary, or encyclopedia
I recently finished the Lunar Chronicles. probably not my childhood, but I'll remember the series for years to come :)
The Phantom Tollbooth. It was the first book that held my interest from cover to cover when I was about 10 years old.
I swear that book felt like a fever dream to me! I have read it multiple times, forgotten about it and then I suddenly remember when I hear the name or see the unique cover.
harry and the dinosaurs
Your favourite childhood book, your username- coincidence or conspiracy??
Black Beauty by Ann Sewell...It could be Worse (Ukrainian story)...The Chronicles of Narnia...Higglety Pigglety Pop!...
The How To Train Your Dragon series by Cressida Cowell!!! They’re SO much better than the movie series and are such a fun read. Please please please read them if you have the time, Dreamworks really did the series dirty.
oh and also wings of fire. :P
Several of the classics, including “The Wind in the Willows” by Kenneth Grahame. They story of friendship, and adventure.
