A Children’s Lit/YA Lit Reading Challenge
July 22, 2012 § Leave a comment
Emilio Salgari, Sandokan alla Riscossa; Il Corsaro Nero
Scott O’Dell, Island of the Blue Dolphins
Henryk Sienkiewicz, In Desert and Wilderness
Astrid Lindgren, The Brothers Lionheart (which I did read at her urging a few years before, but didn’t review); Pippi Longstocking
Rudyard Kipling, Kim; Captains Courageous
Karl May, Winnetou
Branko Ćopić, Ježeva Kućica
Cesare Pavese, Verrà la morte e avrà i tuoi occhi
Not certain if the last two are juvenile/YA, but they shall be read…just as I must follow She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed.
In return, I sent her this list:
Wilson Rawls, Where the Red Ferns Grow; The Summer of the Monkeys
Beverly Cleary, The Mouse and the Motorcycle (or just anything by Beverly Cleary; she was/is awesome)
Madeleine L’Engle, A Wrinkle in Time (although it was duller when I re-read it a few years ago)
E.B. White, The Trumpet of the Swan/Charlotte’s Web (the cartoon made me cry when I was 5)
Anything by Dr. Seuss
Jack London, The Call of the Wild
Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Robert Lewis Stevenson, Treasure Island
Johann Wyss, Swiss Family Robinson
A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh
Thomas Rockwell, How to Eat Fried Worms
This should be an interesting project. And yes, I have no qualms about reading/reviewing juvenile/YA literature, or at least the ones that do not suck.
