Philip Roth. Portnoys Complaint
I read all the Hardy Boys books when I was a kid but Franklyn W Dixon doesn't exist. So another set was called Chip Hilton a superstar high school and later college athlete and they were written by an ex basketball coach named Clair Bee and he was a real person, so by default.
Marguerite Henry. Such lovely horse books.
Shel Silverstein
Judy Blume and Beverly Clearly
I read a Judy Blume book but it sure wasn't for kids👍
C.S Lewis.
My daughter just bought me a really nice edition of The Chronicles of Narnia, because I loved it when I was a kis, and she just finished my old paperbacks recently.
But I know that was a drastic change for her and her career.
@Sandy Wifey??
Paul Zindel, Donald J Sobel, and Jackie Collins.
Aesop
Hollywood wives! A Roman a clef?
Happy Birthday, Beverly Cleary! 💓Millions of hugs to you!💓 She was my absolute favorite, and was a favorite of so many of my past students. I really struggled with reading independently until I found her books and wanted to stick with the characters enough to keep going. Also loved 101 Dalmatians and Wind in the Willows.
Beverley, of course, but also L. Frank Baum.
It’s Cleary.....
I thought it was Cleary, but autocorrect didn't agree with me...
Laura ingalls wilder
Yes!! Dahl was great too!!
Edward Packard, because he let me choose my own adventure.
Those Choose Your Own Adventure books were a hot commodity in elementary! The kids couldn't wait to get their hands on them!
Anne M. Martin
Wifey it was @Jennifer but I think she did more like that afterwards..
Theodor Seuss Geisel
Carolyn Keene
Judy Blume - Im old
Dr. Seuss 100%
Encyclopedia Brown
Beverly Cleary
Anne McCaffrey
Encyclopedia Brown was a young John Shaft, a bad mother oh wait. I just got it why they called him Shaft, "the black private dick," I thought it was just because he shafted the bad guys. Damn that really was some blaxpoitation sh!t 🤔
judy blume, all Nancy Drew/ HB, Louise Fitzhugh of Harriet the Spy
Eleanor Estes - loved all the Moffat books.
V.C. Andrews
From the same era as Beverly Cleary was Walter R. Brooks who wrote 26 wonderful books about Freddy the pig. One of my favorites was "Freddy and the Baseball Team from Mars" The books were fun to read and so well written. Walter R. Brooks also wrote short stories about the famous Mr. Ed the talking horse.
Judith Kerr, now well into her 90s, for her many great children’s books but especially for “When Hitler stole Pink Rabbit”
I absolutely loved "The Mouse and the Motorcycle". Out of all the kids books I ever read that's the only one I remember really well
Laura Ingalls Wilder, Nancy Drew books and as an adult lover of children's books ..Margery Williams....The Velveteen Rabbit.
Julie Campbell Tatham and other authors who wrote Trixie Belden.
Louisa Mae Alcott
Pretty much it for children's authors - after these, I started reading books from my Mom's bookcase.
Judy Blume, Shel SiIverstein
Judy Blume, Gertrude Chandler Warner (creator of "The Boxcar Children" series), Erich von Daniken and Isaac Asimov and, of course, Carl Sagan.
Kenneth Grahame "Wind in the Willows"
Beverly Cleary, Judy Blume, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and S.E. Hinton. #staygold #doitforjohnny
Everybody Nick said except for S.E. Hinton. Subbing in Carolyn Keene (Nancy Drew Mysteries!) for that one.
Laura Ingalls Wilder, Madeleine L'Engle (read A Wrinkle in Time when I was 8 and I still love that story!), and Margery Williams. The Velveteen Rabbit is also one of my all time favorite books.
L. Frank Baum. Louisa May Alcott.
Holly Beth Walker, author of the Meg Mysteries series. Also Madeleine L'Engle.
Walter Farley, C.S. Lewis, Eleanor Cameron's Mushroom Planet series, and Marguerite Henry.
Lucy Maud Montgomery, C.S. Lewis, Louisa May Alcott.
Scott O'Dell.
Little know fact: Cleary wrote pornographic parodies of her work, the first fan fic and it was by the actual author. The tale of Ribsy and Ramona's puppies is better than anything you see in the KS genre, even with aliens.
I ate up all of Palahniuk's books. Survivor was a book I read cover to cover and could not believe lightning struck that man's pen twice, let alone several times. As for when I was a young I think it was R L Stein, yeah Scholastic book faires were pretty much the best.
