Hmmm...
When I was in 4th grade, we read The Giver and I remember it really having blown my mind. Apparently, Lois Lowry wrote two sequels (lthough they weren't directly about Jonas, if I recall) which I really want to read.
in 5th or 6th grade, I read John Irving's A Prayer for Owen Meany, wih really helped guide me through some tough spots in my life, religiously and otherwise, and I loved the characters and writing so much, it was one of the biggest determinants in me becoming an English major.
When I was in high school, however, I read Tony Kuschner's Angels in America, and being in love with theatre, it spoke to me on so many levels, politically, religiously, theatrically, grammatically and had a huge impact on my worldview.
