This is a series that reminds me of reading with my nan as a child. Milly Molly Mandy – Joyce Lankester Brisley And yes, the Netflix adaptation is so true to the book and so, so good. They are such fantastic books about three smart kids in a world of ridiculously idiotic adults. It wouldn’t be one of my book lists if I didn’t include A Series of Unfortunate Events! Easily one of my favourite series of ALL TIME, these books were ones that I would routinely ask for for my birthday and would devour them within days when I got them. A Series of Unfortunate Events – Lemony Snicket My favourite of the Dahl books, The Twits is a book about two truly horrible people – who ultimately get their comeuppance for being such horrid people. There was once a time where I finished reading it and started reading it straight away because I enjoyed it that much. I think I read this book to death as a child.

TOP FIVE CHILDHOOD READS The Twits – Roald Dahl This year, the World Book Day theme is ‘Share a Story’ – and I’ve joined with a group of other UKYA book bloggers to share some of our favourite childhood reads in a whole day of blog hopping! Before me, Charlotte over at Wonderfully Bookish talked about her favourite childhood reads, and now it’s my turn! Happy World Book Day everyone! This is such an important day for young readers, especially for those children who cannot afford to purchase many books to read.
