I’m curious what books written for elementary up to middle school kids have you enjoyed as an adult, or know other adults have enjoyed? I’m talking you read completely to yourself, not to your child and enjoyed *with* them. And you first read as adult, not something you read as a kid and loved and read again as an adult.

The little prince
All the Tintin books. Still great after all these years.
Mine are:
Harry Potter (Obviously)
Holes
Beyond the Bright Sea, by Lauren Wolk
The Thing About Jellyfish, by Ali Benjamin
The Septimus Heap series is still fantastic as an adult.
Ooh, I love children’s books – and yes, I read these first as an adult, for myself.
The Ogre Downstairs by Diana Wynne Jones. Definitely written for younger kids, but still fun.
Also picture books: One Million Grains of Rice by Demi is a wonderful fable-like story, and Margie Palatini’s The Web Files is a mood lifter.
