More thoughts/good book memories...
One of my favorite books when I was a little older (maybe 8ish, but who can remember?) was Gone-Away Lake by Elizabeth Enright, which was followed up by Return to Gone-Away Lake. I still check it out of the library every couple of years to read it again! Really wonderful. I also devoured the "Shoes" books (Ballet Shoes, Theatre Shoes) by Noel Streatfield, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, a really delightfully little book called Mandy by Julie Andrews Edwards, and every Nancy Drew book in sight. There was also Kibby's Big Feat, which I've never been able to find since, and The Witch of Blackbird Pond. Good heavens, I love books!!
