Yes.

Really really good, amazing world building and setting that changes over the course of the series (when the float rocks stop growing it blew my fucking mind), not a Tolkien clone, beautiful illustrations, sky pirates, wizards that live on a floating rock

I can see this; this and the God Delusion were both super popular before I graduated 8th grade.

I'll vouch for anything Roald Dahl. What a great children's writer.

There was this book Rats by Paul Zindel that was pretty good when I was a kid. Pretty scary shit.

This is the only book I have ever read twice, and I started re-reading it immediately after I finished it, and I wasn't even a reader. I didn't even read books for school.

I still remember that line "My chest is ripping apart!"

I wonder if the book would hold up if I read it now. Probably not. I was a stupid ass kid, so I could have liked schlock.

explain why they were good. I must have read half of them but what the fuck- most formulaic pieces of crap weren't they?

Oh baby. Forgot ALL about this one. Yeah what a good read in 7th or 8th grade. Damn.

Okay onto pic related.

I don't care, I spent all my 11 year old allowance money on these things at Scholastic Boon Fair days whenever they came around and it took me a few years to actually get and read them all. This new generation will never know the pain of wanting to finish a series they like and not being able to get the next books till the weird smelling ladies in the truck came.

body of christopher creed is a fun read for anyone. its pretty good, highly recc

the westing game is also fun, mystery in a sense.
