What was your favorite book / series when you were 8-11 years old? I want to make sure I’ve read them all.

I dig old computers and used bookstores. 

Lots of the ones listed in this thread. Also Swallows and Amazons and the Tom Swift books.

I recently discovered swallows and amazons. I’ve decided to read one every summer. This summer is book 3

I read the whole series when I was 11 and had just moved to a new city and didn't have any friends yet. For that reason, it will always have a fond place in my heart.

++ Swallows and Amazons. Read the whole series when my nephews were the right age as a really fun participatory auntie thing

I am at the point where I feel obligated to learn how to sail now.

Oh man have spent many happy hours messing about in small boats… mixing good books up now heheh:
