Title | Author | notes | |
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. |
