We did all the Dahl and the L'Engle books too! But the boys didn't like Rootabaga Stories. The Narnian Chronicles were a hit. Any book by Louis Sachar is fun. Jerry Spinelli, Gary Poulson (good boytype survival stories). Ammo's favorite in 4th or 5th grade was Escape from Alcatraz. We've had to go back to visit twice now and he wants to see all the movies about it. Absolutely fixated on the place. Now I'm curious, though. These are mostly contemporary authors. What did everyone love as a young person? Dan bought a Tom Swift and a Hardy Boys for the boys and they didn't take to it at all. He and I both were heavily influenced by those little biographies about everyone from Alcott to Babe Ruth...read them all. I loved Alcott and Nancy Drew and the Bobbsey Twins and Cherry Ames, Nurse, and Vicki Carr, Stewardess and Trixie Belden, Girl Detective-anything that I could dream I could be.I guess I read some decent things, but they don't spring to mind!
