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 think it was Half Magic that has one of my favorite bits ever about how different adults interact with kids -- something about a) the annoying adults who try to pretend they're kids, b) the annoying adults who try to pretend the kids are also adults, and c) the awesome adults who know kids are kids and adults are adults and that doesn't mean they can't get along.
