This book and Watership Down.
I can't think of anything that hasn't been mentioned half a dozen times already in this thread.

Watership Down was awesome. It was like a more advanced version of Redwall; more gruesome n such.

[Ulysses]

Some series and authors that spring to mind:

A Wrinkle in Time
Encyclopedia Brown
Choose Your Own Adventure
Judy Blume
Lord of the Rings
Asimov
Heinlein

Scanning the thread, the main one from my childhood I missed:

NIMH

I liked the Boxcar Childeren books the best until I discovered my dad's Playboys.

I always thought Boxcar books were overrated. However, I love boobs so good choice.

The only one that no one mentioned is the Goosebump series by R.L Stine. He definitely wrote too many, but some of them were pretty cool. One of the better ones was "Deep Trouble."

Wow, this is an excellent choice.

Where the Red Fern Grows and Where the Wild Things Are are also both solid choices.

Ender's Game

[/ QUOTE ]

This is still one of my favorite books. I re-read it pretty much every year.

I first read Ender's Game as an adult (it wasn't written yet when I was a kid). I can see why it would apeal to kids because the hero is a kid, but it is definitely an adult novel, and IMO one of the ten best science ficion novels ever written.

I was a huge, huge fan.

Thank you, Matt. Thank you.

The "Great Brain" series by John D. Fitzgerald. "The Westing Game" by Ellen Raskin. Lots more, including many noted by other posters.
