    Redwall by Brian Jacques. Introduced me to so many things like the fantasy genre, multi-book series, deep worldbuilding, archetypal races and probably way more. The food descriptions also stand out in my memory.

    Haven't gone back to see how it stands up but I highly recommend it for kids whose reading level is improving and want to move up a tier in length/difficulty.

      Idk about "loved," but I'll put "I can fly" since I remember reading it a lot.

      In case others don't know it, it goes a little something like this (each line is a page):

      "I can fly

      Up, up, up

      Down, down, down

      Up, up, up

      Down, down, down

      Up, up, up

      Down, down, down

      I can fly"

        Redwall by Brian Jacques was probably the earliest one I remember loving.

          The Phantom Toll Booth!

          Weren't they making a live action movie of that? I swear I saw a teaser trailer for it like almost a whole decade ago but don't remember the movie ever actually coming out.

                  I just mean I've seen that one a ton lol

                  A modern one would be nice. If done well, anyway. I feel like it would end up being stretched to a trilogy it doesn't have to be for money, ala Peter Jackson's version of The Hobbit. 😮‍💨

                    Oh sorry. I didn't get that. Well... If there is no demand, no one will make a new one, I am afraid 😓

                        "Nor Crystal Tears": by Alan Dean Foster

                        One of the first novel length books I ever sat down to read when I was young.

                        The first series that I fell in love with was: "The Belgariad" by David Eddings

                        Say what you want about Eddings, the guy was not a nice guy, but "The Belgariad" was a great series and I leaped from it to LOTR.
