The book that really stands out from when I was a child is "I'll always love you" by Robert Munsch
The love that the mother in the story gave to her son reminded me of how my mom is.

Black Beauty and The Incredible Journey. I didn't read the Narnia set until I was an adult, otherwise I would add them.

I really loved the Babysitters' Club when I was young. I would reread it so many times.

I adore A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L’Engle. Loved it as a child and still love it as an adult. I also loved The Secret Garden.

During my childhood, I rarely came into contact with books, but I think one of the interesting book stories I remember well is the story of Peter Pan in the Bobo magazine, which had been adapted into a child-friendly version in Indonesia.

Bobo magazine was a popular childhood companion for Indonesian children in the 90s generation.

I do not have the title of the book with me exactly. This book mainly contained the story of a character called "Rusty" written by the author "Ruskin Bond". I stay in India. :)

Hi! Answering your question, I'd like to talk about the David William's "Gangsta Granny". As a child, around 7 or 8 years old, reading about London, and its diversity, was eye-opening for me. Given that I didn't know much about the world, and even less about London, at the time, this way of story-telling that includes interesting facts about the world, really stuck with me.

Of course, but the ending is a put off for me.

Personally, answering the thread topic, I loved the Three Investigators

Off On A Comet by Jules Verne. I read it when I was sick with pneumonia when I was 14 or 15. I loved that book, Ill never forget it.
