I love "Owl Moon" (Caldacott Winner) for lower elementary grades.
For the upper grades or even into highschool I love "Number the Stars" (Newberry Winner) My students loved that book and we read it more than once in class even. Also many of my parents borrowed it and some highschoolers in that school as well. It was popular and well liked. I also was able to bring out a lot of different things in regard to the holocaust, Jews, and such. It was written from a child's point of view and fairly short. A quick read and well done.
