My all time favorite novel to read as a child (and it's still continues to be my favorite) will always be Peter Pan. It'll always hold a special place in my heart.

LIESL & PO sounds fantastic! I'm totally loving the gorgeous box that swaddles your ARC! :D As a child, my favorite book was THE HOBBIT. My third grade teacher read it to us and I loved it so much that I got a copy and read it again the following summer.

My favorite books were the Babysitter's Club Little Sister series by Ann M. Martin. I had all of them!

No question here, I adored The Babysitters Club. I devoured them as they came out each month. Now I spend my spare time replacing all the missing ones in my collection on eBay for first editions. (I'm really showing my nerd card here, huh?)

I read so many books when I was a little girl that it's hard to pick! Hmmmm... well out of everything, my favorite was probably the Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. Between the clever eldest sister, the intelligent brother, and the adorable baby talk of the baby sister, this series of, well, "unfortunate" events, something about it enchanted me! Thanks for your time!
I loved the Goosebumps series by R.L Stine and the Series of Unfortunate Events, I can't remember the author name, wow that was years ago!

Hmmmm, hard to answer such an easy question, but my favorites (Since I can't choose just one ;)) were The Magic Treehouse books by Mary Pope Osborne, The Babysitters Club by Ann M. Martin, Harry Potter (Of course) by J.K. Rowling, and The Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket!

I finished Delirium today and absolutely loved it. I work at a small library in Bee Cave TX and will be giving to all my teen girls.
Anyway I can't pick one favorite book so here are 3.
Little Women-It made me fall in love with reading.
Anne of Green Gables-I still want to visit Prince Edward's Island
Midsummer Night's Dream- My uncle loved Shakespeare and read it to my sister and I every night. Still my favorite Shakespeare play.

My favorite books throughout middle school were probably R.L. Stein, and Darren Shan. I love Goosebumps, The Demonata, and Cirque Du Freak. (They're series for those who did not know.)But, then again, they were just my favorite authors. I love reading, and I always have. <3. Sillyvanny(at)gmail(dot)com. (:
When I was younger I devoured Roald Dahl's books, including Matilda, James and the Giant Peach, The BFG, The Witches (my fav!), and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! The only other books that remember absolutely devouring in fifth grade were the Chronicles of Narnia books and the Wrinkle in Time books. I keep telling myself that I need to read them all again!
What a fabulous giveaway! I wish I had jumped on the bandwagon sooner!
Jessi - readinginthecorner11 (at) gmail (dot) com
When I was in grade school, I couldn't get enough of The Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. It was just darkly sarcastic in a way that most middle grade books weren't and I totally related to that. Most books for that age group seem to be only fantasy/adventure and not talk too much about the darker side of life.

My favourite book when I was a child was Ralph S. Mouse by Beverly Cleary. We did a novel study on it in grade four, and I got more excited than I should've. I think the first one I ever read was an I-spy book, which was all white and fluffy. That's all I can remember.

My favorite book as a kid was Nancy Drew: Password to Larkspur Lane by Carolyn Keene. I loved the whole Nancy Drew series a lot, but that was my favorite.

Easy; Eragon, by Christopher Paolini. It's actually the first novel I ever read cover-to-cover, and it's still my favourite to date. If not for the quality of the writing, then for the characters and how precious the book is to me, itself.

Just finished Delirium and also read Before I Fall. Congratulations on your success with these two books and your new adventures in middle grade literature. As a Creative Writing and English teacher, I'd love to learn more about your writing process, which your friend Elizabeth Miles described as, "regular writing routine" if you're willing to share. My favorite books as a child were Ann McCaffrey's Series The Dragonriders of Pern, and also Madeleine L'Engle's Wrinkle in Time series-yet the first book is my favorite. Thanks so much!

I also loved Ramona the Pest (and all the Ramona books), The Hobbit, Boxcar Children series, Amelia Bedelia, Matilda, Chronicles of Narnia and a million others! I've always been a reader. :)

There are so many to pick form, and it depends on when you refer to me as being a "kid"... but I read the Tamora Pierce Torall books starting when I was about 11 and I adored them, and just read them over and over again. The Protector of the Small Series ended up being my favourite- soo good!

When I was reading picture books, we didn't have that many around, not even in the bookstores, so the ones I did get to read were those gorgeously illustrated Russian ones from the bookfair. Such a pity that perestroika and glasnost and the breakup of USSR has led to a complete absence of those books from the Indian market. Later, Enid Blytons of course - any of her books!

There is an utterly ridicules amount of responses!
I didn't get into reading until about 6th or 7th grade. So, I guess my favorite book for a while was the Secret Garden (I know I should look up the author, but I don't think there is anyone who doesn't know about this book!). Currently, though, I really like Leviathon, By Scott Westerfeld (My Favorite Author!), and it's been that way for a while. The Hunger Games (the first book) is a close second. But I also loved Delerium, and cannot wait for the Library to finally have a copy for me!
