I got them when I was in third grade. Great books.

Ginger Pye won the Newberry Medal, but I enjoyed her Moffats books (some of which were Newberry Honor) and the Hundred Dresses much more. |
Yup. Read ginger pye and pinky pye and most of the others. I feel like I’ve read at least 95% of the books mentioned on this thread.

I don't think anyone mentioned this one yet - "To Kill A Mockingbird" - One of my all time favorites. Or is this not a children's book?

I wrote it on one of my lists! Yup, absolutely an important, moving book.

I read Hans Brinker too! I loved A Tree Grows in Brooklyn but cannot recommend it to anyone younger than the age that would read To Kill a Mockingbird. The attempted child molestation was intense even though it was written as cleanly as possible.

This thread is great - bringing me back to my childhood!
Tom's Midnight Garden
The Westing Game
Artemis Fowl series - loved those
Indian in the Cupboard
Harriet the Spy
Tuck Everlasting
----
Anyone know these titles:
There was one excellent series about a group of animals on a farm - the protagonist was a pig, Freddy? Extremely clever and engaging.
Also - one about a castle in a boys attic, he ends up shrinking (along with his babysitter, I think) to live in it and have adventures... I loved it, slightly eerie feeling - any idea what it was called?
And there was another one with a similar idea - for years I've tried to remember what it's called, it's a haunting story - something about going back in time or shrinking via a dollhouse and a spooky old lady with a basket of eggs?

The Secret Garden
