To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
It always makes me cry every time (but I'm a bit of a sook anyway) but I feel really connected to the characters. I love the movie too, it is one of the few movies that is true to the book.This would have to be my all time favourite children's book series - The Silver Brumby by Elaine Mitchell. I am always on the lookout for these in op shops but alas I have never found any. My other children's favourite was The Secret Seven and I am slowly rebuilding my collection of these, mainly vintage copies.
Thanks to Dees for this week's this is. Pop over to Angela's blog and see what everyone else is reading

I am so glad someone else cries when they read - I am such a sook - Great choice.
I love To Kill a Mockingbird. It's on my shelf and I pick it up to read again every couple of years.
I also love To Kill a Mockingbird, and the film too. Never fails to make me cry though as well!
I just re-read this recently (for Book Club) and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Great choice!
Ahh Cass you're a woman after my own heart - I love all your selections, with a bit of Tim Winton thrown in for good measure!
I bought TKAM as a 'must have' and it has inspired my hubby to read it.
Such a great book.....and I used to love the silver brumby too! Anything to do with horses was a hit.
Such a great choice.
I loved the Silver Brumby series. It was the first book that ever made me cry.
To Kill a Mockingbird is hands down the most brilliant book in the world..... it's held firm place at the top of my book list (and I read A LOT, so it's a pretty high honour) for many, many years.
I've read it once a year since I was eleven, and every year I find something new in it as my awareness and wisdom grows. Lovely. The film is bloody good too.
Fantastic choices - I was more into Famous Five than Secret Seven - how I wanted to have adventures like that every day!
