1. Walpurgis II, by Mike Resnick. Satanists and Evil Overlords and turnips, oh my!
2. Tuck Everlasting, by Natalie Babbitt. The melancholy beauty of life and death, of wheels and seasons and toads.
3. Zahrah the Windseeker, by Nnedi Okorafor-Mbachu. Kids! Grow your own computer at home!
4. Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, by Robert C. O'Brien. As demonstrated in the LJ comments, shipping is a natural human impulse, and if you write a smart, kind, possibly tragic, heroic character, he will be shipped. Even if he's a rat.
5. Powers, by Ursula K. Le Guin. I am a shallow person who probably would have liked this book better if it had conformed more to the "psychic kid" genre. Though given its awesomely depressing predecessor, Gifts, which actually did, maybe not.
6. Enchanted Glass, by Diana Wynne Jones. Giant vegetables, magic glasses, and that Wynne Jones classic, very bad food.
7. The Lion Hunter, by Elizabeth Wein. Oh, Telemakos!
8. The Empty Kingdom, by Elizabeth Wein. Go, Telemakos!
9. Escape to Witch Mountain, by Alexander Key. Communists are evil. Unless they're psychic aliens.
