1. A Wrinkle In Time Madeleine L'Engle I love this book, and it got me hooked on all of her books for a while
2. Anne Of Green Gables L.M. Montgomery I'm not sure why I liked it so much. I've tried to read it again and now I think it's pretty boring.
3. Number The Stars Lois Lowry It's classic.
4. Bridge To Terabithia Katherine Patterson And Donna Diamond The first book I read multiple times.
5. Many Waters Madeleine L'Engle A great alternative version of the story of Noah's Ark, plus it was the first book I read with a sex scene in it.
