I love the giver

I loved number 5 growing up!

I'd like to add a Dr. Seus fav "One fish Two fish Red fish Blue Fish" and "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak.

I read most of these and LOVED city of ember as a kid. :) I definitely agree with reading The Giver again as an adult...there's a lot I didn't pick up on when I read it as a child.

I have not read any of these lol

Great suggestions and I've already bought most of these for my daughter to read (:

I would have to add The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold - both my son and my daughter loved this book!

I would also recommend the chronicles of Narnia! I am curently re-reading them and they are juat wonderful light reads !! :)

Most of these books I have read and seen the movie adaptation too. Kendra, you may also like,"Rumble Fish," it's by the same author of,"the Outsiders."

How is The Giving Tree not on here? I'm 17 and that book can still make me cry
