A Little Fear by Patricia Wrightson

The Attic of the Wind by Doris Herold Lund

Both of these books are little-known gems. A Little Fear is a YA book, but only in name. The audience could easily be children of all ages.

The Attic of the Wind is one of those great books that can be read from early toddler-hood on up in to full blown childhood. I remember my mother reading it to my brother when I was in upper elementary, and I enjoyed it even then. 

Have fun!
