Childhood nostalgia poll

[rachelmanija]

Please reminisce, fondly or not, about any of these, or other books read in childhood, especially if they seem to have, deservedly or undeservedly, vanished from the shelves. I'd love to hear about non-US, non-British books, too.

I must say, I'm disappointed by the poor showing Three Investigators is making in this poll. I was obsessed. As were my classmates - we even set aside a cubby where we put all of our copies so that we could borrow each others' books, because no one had the whole series.

Oh, there was the Anne of Green Gables, obviously, and because I was a good Jew, the All of a Kind Family series.

Oh, not a series, but if the theme is kids' detective books - Harriet the Spy. She was awesome.

Harriet the Spy!! Did you read the two sequels?

I didn't know there were sequels!

There were! The Long Secret, and Sport, which focus on Harriet's friends. I also read and enjoyed Nobody's Family is Going to Change, which is not set in the Harriet-verse.
