Thinking about this, it's funny that even back in elementary school I showed a preference for series! My first memories included:
- The Baby-Sitters Club
- Amelia Bedelia
- They have apparently revamped the Amelia Bedelia series and are now publishing stories of her as a child...probably still cool, but I was all about the now "classic" adult Amelia
- Little House on the Prairie
- Ramona Quimby
And then there was a fairly big mystery phase- which is still one of my favorite genres actually:
When it comes to single books, I don't have a huge memory. The ones I can remember are:
- Kidnapping of Courtney Van Allen & What's-her-name by Joyce Cool
- Confession- we read this in school for a story hour, and I spent years trying to remember the name so I could read it again
- From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by
E.L. Konigsburg
It was sometime around the end of elementary school/beginning of junior high that I also started Ann of Green Gables and Little Women...I definitely remember rereading Little Women about a million times.
What did you read in elementary school?
