What were your childhood favorite books that no one else seems to know? Not Harry Potter or Percy Jackson, but the book no one else has ever heard of. Mine is Princess from Another Planet. 

its not a novel but Footrot Flats. Its a tiny comic from new zealand about a sheep dog and it is 90% farm humor and I loved it as a kid

also run with the wind

Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve. Still one of my favorite series

The Great Good Thing by Roderick Townley. 

Princesses, fourth-wall breaking, and what it means to be an author.

The War Between the Pitiful Teachers and the Splendid Kids by Stanley Kiesel. It’s uh. Like Paul Zindel meets Alan Mendelsohn. Middle schoolish, dark.

A City in Winter!  About a ~secret heir~, which I didn’t hate as much then, and it was read to me when I was a young child by my favorite teacher. It’s for children/MG now, I suppose, and gorgeously illustrated, with a sense of melancholy.

The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper. It ties Arthurian legend and Celtic mythology together with a strong dark vs light plot, and gives the everyday a sense of the mythic, dangerous world underneath. 

Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Love that book and the next two after it. Then it kinda becomes stale but the first three books are very good.

!!!!!! I’m not the only one????
Mine were ones like that. Also the American Girl books.

The Wormling Series, by Jerry Jenkins and Chris Fabry! Such a great fantasy series with such a rich story and memorable characters.

Maybe the Prydain Chronicles? They aren’t totally obscure but aren’t as well known these days.

Silverwing and Sunwing by Kenneth Oppel. They’re about bats and I love them. (Didn’t love the later books quite as much.)
