alot of mine have already been mentioned..
I loved alot of the Beverly Cleary books..
Boxcar Children
Indian in the cupboard series (movie was horrible)
Maniac Magee (Jerry Spinelli had a good series of books)
There was one series about a group of skateboarders that were always against the odds.. can't remember the name of the series...
of course the C.S. Lewis sets
and my favorite trilogy was during my teenage years.. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the books or the author..maybe if I write it up someone can tell me what it was..I'll put down what I remember.
It started off with a man and his friend doing some research and one of them stumbled upon an odd looking mound of rock, when he went behind it, he was transported to an ancient celtic world. He wandered around and found the warriors and villages and as the book series goes on, he is taken in by one group and is put to training.. further along they are involved in many battles and eventually he is king of his tribe and towards the end he stumbles back out to the real world..but he goes back to the other world and I think at the end he dies while in battle..
it has a resemblance to Lion Witch and the Wardrobe, but it was just a better series of books IMO. any help would be awesome.
