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.

HOW HAS NO ONE MENTIONED ELIZABETH ENRIGHT? I cannot be the only one! Both the Melendy books and the Gone-Away Lake books are still among my favorite comfort reads ever.

In my case, because I couldn't remember the author or the titles. But I was just thinking this morning "what was that series where in one book the two youngest kids get a series of puzzles to solve, and one of them requires them to find someone with an emperor's name, who is their neighbor Mr. Titus?" Now that I can easily check, I believe this book was Spiderweb for Two.
