A list of my favorite books as a kid up through high school. Non-comprehensive, not in any particular order, and won't include pre/sequels unless they stand on their own. 

“For us, places we went were home. We didn't care if they were good or evil or neutral or what. We cared about the fact that for the first time, we didn't have to pretend to be something we weren't. We just got to be. That made all the difference in the world.”
― Seanan McGuire, Every Heart a Doorway
