Decisions, decisions. I have four contenders (so far!), and can't make up my mind.

I’m still vicillating as well, but definitely seconding Anne of Green Gables. I adored it as a kid - but when I reread it as an adult I found it quite funny.

I quite liked the first one. Went off them after a couple more. But Sweetness was quite enjoyable.

Well, my daughter's choices do include Harry Potter, but only afterMy Side of the Mountain which is her all time favorite. I don't think I have read it. Her other option was The Hiding Place. I need to do some searching on availability (but I don't expect any issues) before making a formal nomination.

My second nomination is Mother Carey's Chickens (1910) by Kate Douglas Wiggin. This was the basis for the wonderful Disney musical Summer Magic, starring Hayley Mills, Dorothy McGuire, and Burl Ives; before that, it was made into a nonmusical film starring Ruby Keeler and Anne Shirley. (Anne Shirley took her stage name from the character she played in the film adaptation of Anne of Green Gables.)

As with Colfer, I'm intrigued by the Montefiore, as I've read and enjoyed some of his histories. And Mother Carey sounds like fun; more fun than Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, so I wonder why the latter is better known. As for AoGG, I read it so very many times that I still have it nearly memorized, decades later.
