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 remember this book! It was bizarrely depressing. Did you ever read Julian F. Thompson? He was kind of similar, only without the depressing.

I think I read some of his? There was one about a summer camp where parents sent their problem kids to be whacked? (I mean killed, not spanked.) I recall that they were also very strange, and feeling that most of the story was whizzing over my head. I also could never figure out what happened at the ends.
