As always, TTT is hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. I modified this week’s theme a little bit. I give you, Top Ten Older (Children’s and Middle-grade) Books You Don’t Want People to Forget About. I tried to include lots of my favorite books and series while I was in elementary school and younger.

3. Minou by Mindy Bigham
4. The Berenstain Bears series by Jan and Mike Berenstain

I loved the boxcar children when I was kid! I had them all, I think, anyway!
My nine-year-old self is jealous of your nine-year-old self 🙂
I’ve only read the Nancy Drew one, but I loved those stories so much. Thanks for the memories. 🙂
Matilda by Roald Dahl is my all-time favorite!
