 | The Neverending Story by Michael Ende

 | The Man Who Was Magic by Paul Gallico

 | Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast by Robin Mckinley

 | Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan
Buy used from: $0.01 I will always hear this story told in my mother's voice, even though it's been over 20 years since she read it to me. The lack of romanticism really opened my eyes at that age.

 | A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $1.28 I love the many layers to this book (and the books that follow). This was a very fun read with solid characters. L'Engle was a talented lady.

|
 | Charlotte Sometimes (The New York Review Children's Collection) by Penelope Farmer
Buy new: $12.21 / Used from: $10.55 This was such a fascinating and scary read for me! I learned about sacrifice from this book.
|
 | The 101 Dalmations by Dodie Smith
