Runaway Home (The Alice and Jerry Books) by Elizabeth Jane Coatsworth
When I was in fifth grade, in a one-room schoolhouse in Wisconsin, we had the most amazing reader. Completely unlike the usual mundane stories offered to children, this was a saga about a family's trip across America, full of adventures and suspense. Runaway Home is the only schoolbook from my childhood that took its place in my heart and imagination, the only one that I had to search for and buy myself a copy to treasure.

The New High on a Hill by Mabel O'Donnell
I love the illustrations in these really old books, but the plots and the writing are poor quality.

Runaway Home by Elizabeth Jane Coatsworth
One of my very favorite books as a youngster- i must've read it fifty times. Plus, the Tenggren illustrations are marvelous.

The Five-and-a-half Club by Margery Bianco
I vividly remember being moved onto these readers in primary school well ahead of everyone else. Although they are extension readers for the Janet & John series they were actually quite a good read, a proper story.
