Victor said: I also enjoyed the "Over Sea Under Stone" series by Susan (something or other). It might have been my earliest introduction to fantasy, and then I was hooked.
Susan Cooper! yes, those are awesome books. Very scary. I just wish Jane were a spunkier character - she isn't the greatest role model - what a wimp! And the only girl in the books! Did anyone besides myself get really into the Betsy-Tacy books by Maud Hart Lovelance? I used to love those - and in fact, "Betsy-Tacy" was my first chapter book, left under my pillow by the "tooth fairy". A wayyy better exchange for a tooth than 25 cents! -Yael
