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.

The Egypt Game was a near-obsession of mine at age 10. And I got our teacher to read it aloud chapter by chapter (she used to read to us after lunch recess, as a way of calming us down), and was thrilled when most of the class loved it too.
