A recent post at Secret Society of List Addicts listed favourite childhood books. These are the ones I couldn't stop reading as child, or in today's terminology, a tween. Surprisingly, they are all represent a series.
1. Milly-Molly-Mandy - I loved the map in the front.
2. Baby Sitters Club - I still find it hard not to buy them.
3. Anne of Green Gables - My friend's house had green gables and I was very jealous.
4. Little House on the Prairie - I wanted to travel in a covered wagon so much that I sometimes feel like I have.
5. Secret Seven and Famous Five - Possibly everything else by Enid Blyton too.
What's on your list?

My favorites as a Tween were
1. The Hobbit
2. The Lord of the Rings
3. Chronicles of Narnia
4. The Lord of the Rings
5. The Lord of the Rings
My early favorite was Redwall. I discovered Dragon Rider's of Pern before I ever finished the Redwall series. I got my first subscription to Analog for my 13th b-day and it was all down hill from there. Any thought of "proper literature" as my English called what she recommend was completely lost when I discovered the like John Varley, Philip Jose Farmer, and Harry Harrison. By the time I discovered my first alternative history novel I knew the people who were recommending "academically approved good literature" only did so because pompous windbag academics told them it was what smart people said was good literature.
