I don't remember the author, but another book I really enjoyed as a kid was A Wrinkle in Time. I also read Mad Magazine a lot.

I also read Mad Magazine a lot.

Me, too. Looking back on the issues I read in junior high 30 years ago, I'm surprised at how sharp and insightful the political humor was for what was usually thought of as a "kid's magazine".
