I bawled my eyes out in my 7th grade reading class over “Where the Red Fern Grows”. I will not read again but I LOVED it.

The Great Brain series - by John Fitzgerald
DeeYer
Sideways Stories from Wayside School!!!I forgot all about that book
BillWeenus
Anyone remember The Ear, The Eye and The Arm?
RickySpanishhhhh
YES! Did you read any of the Earthsea books?
BillWeenus
I did not. But my reading level is still right around the same so I'll check it out!
derschweiz
I don’t want to re-read the Cay because I’d probably find it racist but man I have such good memories of it...
darkdragonempress
From memory, it wasn't so bad. The kid was a little twat at first but the black guy is the only reason they survived.
sufferinsuccotash
I adored Indian in the Cupboard. I also loved Anne of Green gables and All of a kind Family
Hadespuppy
We read Where the Red Fern Grows in grade 3. Then we watched the movie. That's a lot for a classroom of 9 year olds to handle.
CutofEmrld
10yr old. Finished the book. Walked to a friend's place, crying (dad and mom were hangin out there). Threw book at dad. Then hugged.
darkdragonempress
We had it assigned in grade 4. One of the few times in my life I questioned god.
themuttonisniceandlean
Teacher, can we read a book where the dog doesn't die, please?
grooooooogleeeeee
Read a book in fifth grade called "No More Dead Dogs"
hathorlover
I cried when we read it in class, the other kids made fun of me for doing so
Hadespuppy
Kids are jerks.
bilateralunsymmetry
"Where the Red Fern Grows" was the first book I cried to. Loyal to the end.
darkdragonempress
I loved the Bunnicula series. Can't wait to share them with my daughter.
Gcat3000
the celery stalks at night!
jericonah
Any fans of The Magic Treehouse books? Some of my favorites as a child
TwasBrilligAndTheSlithyToves
I loved those books as a kid! I would read them all several times over and over
epsilonmonkey
I never read them as a child but I read them to my child years ago. Great!
Arsikere
i wonder how many of these will be banned in teh future for being offensive
darkdragonempress
Well Mark Twain's books are still sold uncensored so not very likely.
wordsfailme
I remember a lot of these but one not included I still think about is Maniac Mcgee, I read it in the fourth grade.
railgin
amen, loved that book as well
PorousComposite
You know what, I thought I had included Maniac Magee...an all time favorite. I fully intended to, then missed it while trying to upload
Sprinkleton
Many of these and of course, 'Hatchet'
dontcallmemaybe4
Don’t be mad but I never really liked ‘Hatchet.’ It seemed a little pointless to me.
Aroth
Brain's winter is pretty good too
rabbiebabbie
Oh yeah! Wasn't there a sequel?
ibrokemyselflmao
If we're going to mention encyclopedia Brown, then we can't forget The Great Brain
WeenusMaGee
i love all the books by Gary Paulson
TheGrinchStoleYourShit
The 2 sequels weren't bad, Brian's Winter I liked but Brian Returns was just okay
AlwaysInGray
And The River, another "Brian" book - in case you missed that one.
TheGrinchStoleYourShit
oh yeah thanks
fecaltransplant
Or My Side Of The Mountain
Hadespuppy
There's a whole genre of "kids surviving the wilderness" books. I think I read them all.
randomtreebeard
MadameRainbowPants
YES! THIS!
gamblingpoet
I loved that book. I still would love to spend a few weeks in the Canadian wilderness and do...wildernessy stuff. Maybe fight a moose.
Skornish
Make sure to get a young pilot.
Hadespuppy
Don't fight a moose. Unless it's a little moose. And momma's not around.
AuleMahal
Mama is always around. Moose are beautiful and terrifying
Burritoheart
tbh even then I wouldn't fight it.
AngryFennec
no hardy boys and/or nancy drew?
astrangehop
I found out five years ago that Franklin W Dixon, Carolyn Keene, and Victor Appleton were (originally) the same 22 people.
NancyDrewsBiggestFan
Can confirm. Was a bit of a blow to my childhood self
pocketflan
Are we the same person? Couldn’t have picked em better
Hadespuppy
Right? There are maybe three books here that I'd switch out.
SpecialAgentCharlesCarmichael
Wayside school was/is my shit. When are they gonna turn that one into a movie?
HenryFondle
Too chapter-based. Holes with LeBouf was actually really good though. (I have a potato tattoo on my ankle).
9thengs6
My 6th grade teacher read where the red fern grows and cried when the dog died. Award moment that I will never forget.
bananaslippers
Did you happen to go to Dr. Charles Best?
BadWolf86
Spoilers! Lol
BreakingRad
Oh my god, I hadn't thought about tuck everlasting in so long, and was hit with a wave if nostalgia. Thank you for reminding me of this 1/2
BreakingRad
Huge part of my childhood 2/2
RickySpanishhhhh
I know. Just seeing the covers of these, I can smell the pulp paper and see the room of my 8 year old self.
Silliosophical
So 90% of these titles hit home for me, but not Tuck Everlasting. Do I read it now? As an adult?
asquiiiiiiisha
Definitely.
QueenoftheTrashPandas
I read this book in 4th grade and loved it. Just reread it and it's still fantastic. A quick read though.
BreakingRad
Yea for sure, it's been awhile but I think it's enjoyable for all ages
gamblingpoet
A Wrinkle In Time caused me to hate teachers. My 5th grade teacher was pregnant, and left in the middle of the school year/lesson for AWIT.
gamblingpoet
We had to write an essay about a character. So I wrote about IT. My sub gave me a C on the paper because she said I used the pronoun "It"
gamblingpoet
too much. I tried to explain to her,but she said the grade was final and wouldn't listen to 25 kids complaining they deserved a better grade
RickySpanishhhhh
Read it again. As an adult it's a jumble of existentialism, quantum theory, and philosophy. Still an amazing book.
TheresnoDanaonlyZuul
Choose Your Own Adventure, anyone?
oshea
Oh yeah. The ones I read were called Fighting Fantasy by Steve Jackson & Ian Livingstone. I loved there books.
notasmartman
Those are a TINY bit more involved than the other series, though.
oshea
Good times tho. Think thats what made me like reading so much.
