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 can't believe no one's mentioned John Christopher yet! I guess he wrote trilogies rather than endless series, but those were some of the first SF books I read.

I also remember reading a bunch of YA serials in elementary school that haven't been mentioned yet: Sleepover Friends, Pen Pals, and Animal Inn all come to mind as things that my group of friends and I read together.

I also remember liking a mystery series called TACK that was similar to Encyclopedia Brown but about a group of kids instead of just one.

Oh, I remember Sleepover Friends, I think.
