For me, it was actually Dear Mr. Henshaw (4th grade). I don't know what exactly in it appealed to me, but it's one book that definitely stands out.
Fahrenheit 451 in 8th grade also stood out for me as well. It really shaped my views on the future and made me aware of the dangers and benefits that technology can have.
Fortunately, my junior high teacher had some good taste and helped develop my love of books. I read To Kill a Mockingbird, Brian's Song, Animal Farm, and a few other classics as well.
High school, I started getting into mainly non-fiction, and distinctly remember Fast Food Nation sophomore year. Fiction-wise, probably Catcher in the Rye (soph.) and Perks of Being A Wallflower (junior). Made me remember I was not alone and gave me more confidence in myself.
