What’s the first book you read

WAY too young?

Answers: love all these books and yet...
Mists of Avalon
Go Ask Alice
IT
Pet Cemetery
Clan of the Cave Bear
Flowers in the Attic

I love all these answers!

What’s wild is how much the books we weren’t prepared for became so memorable.

I still love Carrie and A Clockwork Orange even though they were both terrifying.

My goal is not to terrify young readers—but to have my books still stick with them...! https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781641291132">https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781...
