That is my favorite children's/young adult book of all times! It is just terrific, even though it is extremely sad. I cry at the last two or three chapters every time. I have my class do a novel study of that book every year. It is always well received.

I also have my class do a novel study on it every year; it is one of my favorites as well.
I love any book by Beverly Cleary and Judy Blume. I especially love
Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. My class does novel studies on the whole "Fudge" series.
I'll add these that I don't think anyone has mentioned yet: (1)
Sounder, (2)
Holes, (3)
My Side of the Mountain, and (4)
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. These are all young adult books.
For smaller kids I like: (1)
If You Give a Moose a Muffin,
If You Give a Pig a Pancake, etc. There is a whole series of books like these they are very cute. (2) The Pop Up Series by David Carter like
Love Bugs, (3)
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and
Alexander and the Horrible, Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
Also, for any age, Shel Silverstein has a set of poetry books that are hilarious!
Light in the Attic,
Where the Sidewalk Ends, and
Falling Up. I just love them!
