Here&#8217;s what other staff members had to add! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lona says:<\/strong> &#8220;I must have been 12 or 13 and remember reading <em>Little Women<\/em> and <em>Little Men<\/em> by Louisa May Alcott. Then I read <em>Oliver Twist<\/em> by Charles Dickens. They were my introduction to historical fiction, which I still read today.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cathy says:<\/strong> &#8220;<em>Baby Island<\/em> by&nbsp;Carol Ryrie Brink, illustrated by Helen Sewell. OMG, I must have read and reread this book a hundred times, no word of a lie. It&#8217;s about 2 young sisters who are shipwrecked with 4 babies and their ability to step up to the responsibility and keep everyone alive and happy. It&#8217;s a story of courage and nurturing and adventure&#8230; I hesitate to say that I still have it. For 8-12 year olds, but in this day and age, I&#8217;d say 8-10.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What about you?
