Especially the Borrowers, Roald Dalh, and Dickens. Terry Pratchett was my shit! I even had the Discworld map (still got it somewhere). In fact, I might revisit that soon as I'm done with this essay.

A few more:
Gulliver's Travels
Arabian Nights
The Hobbit (I struggled with LOTR at that age)
The Wind in the Willows
To Kill A Mockingbird

And a couple of contemporary recommendations:

Anne Fine - Flour Babies
Malorie Blackman - Noughts & Crosses series (a kind of afrofuturist alternate reality for kids/teens) The series came out when i was already an adult but I read one of her earlier books as a kid & it really stuck with me. Probably one of the only black writers I remember reading at that age.
