I loved Jones' Dalemark Quartet; I remember sobbing in the last one and how brilliant she made it all turn out. I'd say that was definitely a favorite series. My other very favorite book from childhood, and still my favorite, is A Wrinkle in Time. There's just something about the way L'Engle writes... she knows just how to turn a phrase and I still get chills when I read the line "There <i>is</i> such a thing as a tesseract." It's a great story that I plan on sharing with my children when I have them someday.<br /><br />tahleen{dot}ovian{at}gmail{dot}comTahleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330160603781228707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-38911280388056436732011-08-30T19:22:41.526-04:002011-08-30T19:22:41.526-04:00DIANA WYNNE JONES!

It's always been hard for me to pinpoint favorites, but some of my favorite series from 4th-7th grade are Redwall, Circle of Magic, Lost Years of Merlin, and Dark Instruments (I think that's what it's called?). Definitely my fantasy and animal phase. <br /><br />Roald Dahl = god for the 3rd grade me. :><br /><br />booksatmidnight@gmail.comJenn (Books At Midnight)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14939427985838403657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-45590234446045338382011-08-30T13:19:27.210-04:002011-08-30T13:19:27.210-04:00I read my first of Jones' books (Howl's Mo...I read my first of Jones' books (Howl's Moving Castle) for the Dewey read-a-thon in April and have been wanting to read more of her work ever since. <br /><br />When I was little I loved the Narnia series, but a few of my other favorites were The Phantom Tollbooth, The Secret Language, The Westing Game, The Mystery of the Cupboard, Midnight in the Dollhouse, The Secret Garden, Bunnicula, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIHM, From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs Basil E.Frankweiler, and anything by Roald Dahl. <br /><br />avidreader25 [@] gmail [dot] comMelissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-26416372260032392832011-08-30T10:52:54.784-04:002011-08-30T10:52:54.784-04:00I was in fifth grade when Harry Potter came out......I was in fifth grade when Harry Potter came out... which quickly became my favorite series. <br /><br />katherinerovensky@gmail.comKChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14607991815190479242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-26294083955686941952011-08-29T23:56:47.612-04:002011-08-29T23:56:47.612-04:00When I was very, very little, I read through Bruce...When I was very, very little, I read through Bruce Coville's Unicorn Chronicles. Well, back then there was only two. But they were thick and impressive to me back then, and I was so proud to have read through them!<br /><br />Great question!<br /><br />kimie142002 (at) hotmail (dot) comBecca A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11142425697063892170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-12433610064192219132011-08-29T20:41:24.829-04:002011-08-29T20:41:24.829-04:00How kind of you to share these! When I was young,...How kind of you to share these! When I was young, I loved Louise Fitzhugh's Harriet the Spy and its sequel, The Long Secret; and later, the third volume, Sport. I had several other favorites: Chronicles of Narnia, the Laura Ingalls series, and The All-of-a-Kind Family. My first DWJ was Dogsbody, but it wasn't until years later that I found more of her books -- my library only had one and we didn't have ILL or an online catalog since this was back in the Dark Ages before computers!<br /><br />My email is Karenlibrarian13@yahoo.com.Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-83580394631723064372011-08-29T18:14:44.630-04:002011-08-29T18:14:44.630-04:00Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel by Virginia Lee...Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel by Virginia Lee Burton.
