Lloyd Alexander (anything by him)
The Witch of Blackbird Pond
31 Brothers & Sisters (great coming-of-age & gender story set in tribal Africa)
Lucky Mrs. Ticklefeather and her Puffin Paul
Phillip the Flower Eating Phoenix
EL Konigsburg (especially From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler)
Philip Pullman - His Dark Materials
C.S. Lewis - Narnia books
Susan Cooper (anything by)
The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew
All of a Kind Family (the whole series)
The Boxcar Children
Swallows & Amazons

(Hm. I sense a Half.com shopping trip coming, or at least a big library run!)

I wouldn't say the Arrows stories (by Lackey) were "kids books".

Five little peppers?

Cool! I love the older books like that (Pollyanna, in my opinion, beats Anne of Green Gables hands down)... do you have the followups for Five Little Peppers?

And new titles I haven't read yet! Yay!

And of course I realize that I've forgotten Edward Eager...
