These are my favorite books which are traditionally considered books for young readers. It is my feeling that a good book is a good book. I read Dickens and Asimov as a child, and I read Madeleine L'Engle as an adult.

A Wrinkle In Time	Madeleine L'Engle	This was a wonderful tale of discovery for young Meg Murry. What is a Tesseract? Find out that and much more.
A Wind In The Door	Madeleine L'Engle	The wonderful sequel to A Wrinkle in Time.
A Swiftly Tilting Planet	Madeleine L'Engle	The third book about the Murry family. Charles Wallace has a world to save while his now grown up and married sister waits at home.
Many Waters	Madeleine L'Engle	The Murry twins missed much of the excitement the first three times around. Now it's their turn for adventure.
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH	Robert C. O'Brien	The adventures of these brave rodents are compelling for young and old. This is not a 'look at the cute talking animals isn't that funny' book. The plot is compelling and the characterization is excellent.
