As a kid I loved the series from Enid Bliton: The 5 Friends
I read each of them and tried them on my kids, but they did not like the stories.
Stephen King: A story about the end of the world and the devil taking over and an old granny saving the last few humans left. Cannot remember the title and cannot find it anywhere in the house. I believe a film was made, but not very good.
that is really it.... I like lots more books but it more about the way the author brings it accross.
Just got a book written by Patricia Cromwell: "The last Precinct" I have read all of her other works about Dr. Scapetta.
Another of my favorites is Joannah Lindsey. I have all of her books except for the last 2 she wrote.
Peace
