[OPLINLIST] Book suggestions?

[Kathleen Webb]

Some of the older Newbery Award and Honor Books would be a good challenge.
They tend toward adventure rather than the problems of modern society.
These were some of my favorites:

Adam of the road / Elizabeth Janet Gray
The door in the wall / Marguerite De Angeli
Island of the blue dolphins / Scott O'Dell
The tale of Despereaux / Kate DiCamillo
The borrowers / Mary Norton
Caddie Woodlawn / Carol Ryrie Brink
Mr. Popper's penguins / Richard Atwater (the original version!)
Rabbit Hill / Robert Lawson
Amos Fortune, free man / Elizabeth Yates
Charlotte's web / E. B. White
Carry on, Mr. Bowditch / Jean Lee Latham
