Childhood nostalgia poll

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.

[Poll #1720139]

Oh my god, that is one magnificent list of titles.

I definitely read A Time to Die, Mother, Please Don't Die, Sixteen and Dying, and Baby Alicia is Dying, and probably a couple of others. OH LURLENE.

Ahahahaha, omg seeing them altogether like that is awesome. There is some form of death in every single title but the last!

Clearly the death in the last one is just heavily implied! XD
