A Wrinkle in Time 964 reviews Madeleine L'Engle
Yearling, 1973
The battle between good and evil.
I have often heard people comment about how good this book is, but I've never taken the time to read it before now. I can't say that I was mislead.

Nothing's Fair in Fifth Grade 41 reviews Barthe DeClements
Puffin, 1990
Awesome
+ Complex characters; rewarding at the end + brings back the days when I was young!~
This is one of my favorite children's books. It was the first book that depicted a hostile parent despite feeding and sheltering her children and it was the first book that depicted children's relationships as less than trustworthy. After reading this book, I wished I had the author as MY teacher. ...
