I am David. Can't remember who wrote it but about a boy who escapes from a prisoner of war camp. Inspiring
"I Am David" was an awesome book. I read it many times as a kid. I think it was Ann Holme or Holmes.
I've never heard or talked to anyone else about this book Peelierion-glad to hear you mention it.

I am David: I remember reading this. About a Polish kid during WWII, isn't it?

Yes. I think it was also published under the title "North to Freedom".
I liked how he travelled after the guard helped him get out of the camp (I always wondered if the guard was really his father)-just a water bottle and loaves of bread.
I also read the "Hardy Boys" series and "Tom Swift"; kind of the forerunner of Harry Potter today. Different stories that you collected.
I remember a book called 'Machine Gunners' i really enjoyed that.
There was also a book about football but, i can't remember the name.
Charlie and the chocolate factory
James and the giant peach
in fact, any Roald Dahl
The hobbit
Odi et amo. Quare id faciam, fortasse requiris? Nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior.

Too long in Exile my friend, Baby you can never go home again.
^ Same as dat and the Dahl ones. Especially the Revolting Fair Tale ones he did.
Enid B....Magic Faraway Tree et al.
Willard Price used to do wicked books...African Adventure, Artic Adventure etc. Great stuff.

Yeah, I kind of remember them too.
Me too, but there was never enough scorecards in the books and photocopiers weren't common-place. Had to do them in pencil and then try and rub them out all the while (or shell out for the next installment I guess!)
Another good choice.
How about Wind in the Willows too?

Aah from the depth of memory
Books by Alan Garner and Susan King which were quite dark from what I recall.
Charlotte's Web was a good, so was Mrs Frisby and the Rats of Nimh.
The BFG.
Where the Sidewalk Ends.
(older) Tolkien and Eddings. And Isaac Asimov.
(younger) Need a House? Call Ms. Mouse!
(not really a morals book, but kind of maybe!...)
