I love the Internet. For a lot of reasons. But one of the most recent reasons is because I can search for books that I can hardly remember anything about and find them.
For example, I have been haunted for years by this book I read in fourth grade about this girl who travels back in time through fog. One quick google search leads me to the answer: Fog Magic.
Another book I often think of is a book about a brother and sister who are orphans who have to pick parsnips for their foster parents, and then stumble upon an alternate universal. Google tells me: The Owlstone Crown.
10 other books I recently rediscovered from my childhood include:
1. Jacob Have I Loved
2. From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
3. The Egypt Game
4. The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm
5. The BFG
6. A Wrinkle in Time
7. Heckedy Peg
8. Walk Two Moons
9. Tangerine
10. My Name is Brain
The Egypt Game is one of those books for me too, J. Totally haunting. Will reread now.
Oh and The Giver! Did you ever read that? I’ve practically forced everyone I know to read it.
I did read that one. So good.
