My favorite book in maybe like 4th grade was about two brother cats that go on an adventure, called The Grand Escape. I loved it so much and read it over and over. I kind of want to find it again and see if adult me can still connect with it.

Go for it.

Menswear tweets too much but he is savage

It's very well known but I was so deeply moved by Bridge to Terebithia in 4th grade which looking back is so funny because as an adult I do not process grief very well. But when I was in middle school I read this teen "thriller" book about this girl who receives (sends?) these poison pen letters and I don't remember the name but the cover was really distinctive and had letters cut out of magazines. It was lowkey terrifying
