Question

A Wrinkle In Time was one of the first books that gave me my passion for reading. What author's work touched you as a young reader?

Answer 1

There were several, the only problem is I can't remember the names of the books or the authors of three of those I enjoyed the most. One of those situations where you can remember what the book was about but you can't remember it's name and such.

One of the books really was from when I was little. It was about a mother country bunny who gets a chance to be one of the Easter Bunny's delivery rabbits and he tasks her with the most important delivery, an egg with a scene inside going to a sick child. She can't make it up the mountain where the child lives at first until the Easter Bunny gives her a pair of magical golden shoes that lets her make it to the top of the mountain in only a few hops.

The other two are more combinations ghost stories and mysteries. In the first one a boys family moves into his father's paernt's old home where the boy meets the ghost of his long dead great-uncle. The uncle died when he was about the boys age, if I recall correctly he drowned. The boy becomes friends with one of the neighbor's daughters only her grandfather doesn't want them to be friends. Turns out the grandfather and the boys uncle were friends and they won a lot of money at the county fair the night the uncle died. They were being chased by some theives and agreed to split up with the uncle taking the money to hid it. Only he never returned (like I said, he died that night) so his friend thought he took all the money and skipped town. The uncle's ghost can't remember where he hid themoney so the two have to figure out where it's at in order to convince the old man he his friend hadn't cheated him.

The second one has this family with like five or seven kids in it, I can't remember the exact number but I know it's at least five. Anyway their wrapping camp up for the summer when the youngest boy becomes really six and his parents have to rush him to the local hospital (it was his appendix as I recall) and the eldest kids were to take the family wagon and head home. Only they ended up in such a severe thunderstorm that they could hardly see the road and ended up in the yard of this farmhouse, before they could leave, a tree fell behind them and forced them to seek refuge in the house. The folks there were less than polite, giving the kids the creeps. And during the night they heard a ghostly moan calling for help. When they got to investigating the house, they discovered a girl tied up in the attic. Turns out the "owners" of the house had actually broken out of jail and were using the real owners daughter as a hostage to force him into helping them. The kids manage to save the owner and his daughter and get the crooks sent to jail. Then when one of them says to the guys daughter it was a good thing she'd called for help she reminds them she was gagged when they found her, and had been gagged since the moment they came in, she couldn't have called for help. At that moment there's the same ghostly voice bidding everyone goodbye.

Answer 2

Harry Potter. I'm still a young reader. And right now, the most touching thing I have read is Harry Potter. I mean, it's amazing. It's not always touching like, "Wow, I wanna cry, that's so nice!" but sometimes it is. Such as this:

"Dumbledore must've known- well- that I'd run out on you, so that's why he gave the Deluminator." (Which helped him come back)

"No. He knew you'd always want to come back."
