Some I neglected to mention (one is my favorite from when I was very young):
The Pink Motel by Carol Ryrie Brink
http://www.amazon.com/Pink-Motel-Carol-Ryrie-Brink/dp/068971677XThe Yearling by Marjorie Rawlings
and a definite favorite:
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle
(also one of my daughter's favorites in 3rd grade although supposedly it is for 12 and up)
