I started reading seriously in fourth grade. My mother gave me books from the family library that she thought I might like -
Anne of Green Gables series
Emily of New Moon series
Maida Series
I read my mom's old blue Nancy Drew
and the much better girl detective series Judy Bolton (pale green)
Oliver Twist (I quit reading when Bill Sykes killed Nancy)
Little Women - I quit reading that one when Beth died
Great Expectations - delish
Gone with the Wind (read that one three times)
among many others
I frequented the public library in Wenatchee, Washington, coasting downhill from our home on the edge of town, trudging every step on the pedals on the way home the basket loaded down with always the 11 book maximum. Also used the school library, but it had a much smaller collection - though all oriented towards children.
A Wrinkle in Time
The Saturdays (and the rest of the series)
I found in the non-fiction collection a section of fairy tale books and a small section devoted entirely to witches. The Glass Mountain really stuck with me . . .
I've traveled the world and the universe all from a comfy chair, a cool shady spot on a hot day, or branches in a cherry tree so high up that I looked down on the roof of the house.
