10 Books From My Childhood or Teen Years That I'd Like to Revisit

I was a voracious reader as a kid -- and still am, of course -- and it was a blast to think back and reminisce about favorite stories from long ago. Most are from elementary school and two are from high school (and apparently whatever I read in middle school wasn't good enough to be remembered almost two decades later).
