Edge Chronicles. Specifically pic related. Cool thread OP, shame I had to end it
>>7867314
I can't tell if you're pro or anti-Rand but OP said kids books
>>7867311
HOLY SHIT THIS
>>7867315
>>7867295
>>7867315
Yes, and I posted a kids book.
>>7867340
This
The Little Prince.
>>7867360
THIS
>>7867311
Yes.
Really really good, amazing world building and setting that changes over the course of the series (whenthe float rocks stop growingit blew my fucking mind), not a Tolkien clone, beautiful illustrations, sky pirates, wizards that live on a floating rock
Better than Tolkien 2bh
>>7867295
>>7867367
>>7867503
I remember enjoying all of these.
>>7867349
My parents bought me this once but I never read it, I regret that.
>>7867340
This was fun up until the point when it just becomes Dawkins-tier atheist crap, complete with a strawman church.
>>7867323
Anthem is a good novella. Not a bad thing for a kid to read in all honesty.

But God is literally in it if I remember correctly.
so sad, so good.
anxiety successfully introduced.
>>7867295
best young adult fiction series
>>7867679
but god wasn't god and was also a bad dude, if I remember correctly
>>7867295
This is the only book I have ever read twice, and I started re-reading it immediately after I finished it, and I wasn't even a reader. I didn't even read books for school.
I still remember that line "My chest is ripping apart!"
I wonder if the book would hold up if I read it now. Probably not. I was a stupid ass kid, so I could have liked schlock.
>>7867295
>>7867819
Oh man, I loved the shit out of this book too.
>>7867825
YEEAHAHEHABKABEBAHEHEHADBASKCASCBASJKBCASCASBKJKBASC these books are so chill they are the Harvest Moon of literature
Where the Red Fern Grows
>that scene where he rubs butter on his dog to winner the contest
>>7867873
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>implying
I liked this way better than Alice in Wonderland tbqh. It was much more eerie, and more playful than fantastical
Really disappointed by the new movie trailer, it seems to be nothing like the book
>>7868037
forgot pic
>>7867819
I liked it too but I had to read a different Gary Paulsen book in high school and it was complete garbage
I remember really liking this book as a kid
Also The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
>>7867761
seriously does no one care about the most incredible quartet ever written?
>>7867295
nah holes was garbage
>>7867314
>waaaah
>muh individuality
definitely for kids, perfect book for this generation of whiny special snowflakes

These were the coolest thing when I was a kid! I've never met anyone else who has read them. Good taste anon
>>7867295
Heinlein actually wrote some pretty alright kids stuff. Pic related was one of my favorites.
>>7867295
>Holes
>Zero finds spiced peaches
>'Yo wat dat numero before uno' - Caveman, probably

This is the only children's series worth reading
>>7867312
>>7869043
explain why they were good. I must have read half of them but what the fuck- most formulaic pieces of crap weren't they? Like nothing compared to Potter or Narnia it was just the same thing everytime, any minor overarching storylines there might have been can't be worth having to wade through 5 volumes of filler?
>>7869043
>This is the only children's series worth reading
are you fucking kidding
taming riki was my favorite, even though it was a little dark for a kid. i found it fascinating
devoured these at age 10
>>7867557
>My parents bought me this once but I never read it, I regret that.
It's not too late, anon. Sure, you can never read and understand it as a younger you would've, but there's still copies in the world.

the holes movie was awesome
>>7867864
Best in the series imo
>>7867876
shit, this reminds me: wasn't there a book series about a bunch of owls? I don't remember much about it, but they talked and there were a bunch of different owls, I think there was a war at some point. Does anyone know the name of it?
>>7868950
I liked Nix's other series more desu, Keys to the Kingdom and Sabriel especially were my shit
Nothing beats this.
Best book I ever read. Tremendous content. All my friends love it. Everyone says they start reading and they can't put it down!
The guardians of gahool or something
>>7870360
Sabriel is GOAT, as far as I'm concerned nothing else Nix did will ever come close
>>7870863
GOAT
This book blew my mind when I first read it. Got it on a whim at one of those Scholastic Book Fairs.
Do they even have those anymore?
And Nancy Drew. Kicked the shit out of the Hardy Boys, and she was able to get out of situations half the time without needing to be rescued.
>>7870907
And this one. I did enjoy Watership Down, but not as much as this.
>>7870911
Right in the nostalgias. I loved this.
>>7867721
Fuck yeah my man, I still have my copy.
>>7867349
>mfw the "eagle" readers got to read this while "pleb-bird" readers like me had to read The Cay or Hatchet or some shit.
that one about a man made of cheese who goes around Griefing people
Not sure if this counts, but we read it in 6th grade
>mfw reading stream of consciousness ebonics as a 10 year old
>>7867311
Curse Of The Gloamgozer FTW
>>7867761
YES
>>7869043
I've always felt they were actually shit: smug; twee; lacking in substance; Snickett is a entity; nothing I'd care to have written myself.
>>7873166
non-entity
fkd that up
>>7871735
the stinking man whom was made of cheese.
>>7867315

>>7867340
great stuff
>mfw /lit/ will never feel the glorious feel of following Stach's journey to attempt to become king because the English edition is rare and expensive AF and you're too plebeian to know Retard German
>>7867512
>mfw I had honor's english in 7th grade
>so that means no black kids
>our class read this book in class
>teacher would make students take turns reading
>me and my friend would always read in a stereotypical nigger voice
>everyone laughed, including teacher
Shel Silverstein books are great
chronicles of prydain
the chronicles of narnia.
>>7867312
now that I think about these books were post modern af for a kids book
>>7867311
This, fucking this. Bless you anon.
>>7867295
i thought this one was fantastic as a kid
>>7873118
holy shit, i loved this book. forgot all about it though.
>>7873118
Oh baby. Forgot ALL about this one. Yeah what a good read in 7th or 8th grade. Damn.
Okay onto pic related.
I don't care, I spent all my 11 year old allowance money on these things at Scholastic Boon Fair days whenever they came around and it took me a few years to actually get and read them all. This new generation will never know the pain of wanting to finish a series they like and not being able to get the next books till the weird smelling ladies in the truck came.
>>7867295
body of christopher creed is a fun read for anyone. its pretty good, highly recc
the pigman is also a heavy book. teacher called me out and said, "i know youll like this". said i didnt mind it. to this day, i still kinda dont mind it. its good, might buy it and reread it now for fun
the westing game is also fun, mystery in a sense.
all 3 are fun reads for an adult, easy too. thanks for the thread op, ima read the hell out of my old gradeschool books.
>>7873828
This was pic related.
>>7870854
I had that guy come to my school in the 6th grade
I remember pic related fondly.
Was young me a pleb for enjoying gregor the overlander and guardians of gahoole?
>>7873885
This. Don't even remember the book that much, just remember loving the shit out of it.
>>7868059
More like Redditors Gold
>>7874707
lmao
It's like Red Dawn the Novel. Still pissed there never was a sequel.
>>7873855
Moomin series by Tove Jansson.
>>7867349
