    So, I’m well aware of famous classic children’s books such as what is listed below (and of course it’s not to be meant as an inexhaustible list but just a few examples of what I mean), but I have no idea about what would be considered modern day classics that have been published within the last 10 or 15 years (for ages 8-12) and I’m curious what other people think will end up in that category eventually.

    Older classics:

    Charlotte’s Web

    Heidi

    Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh

    The Phantom Tollbooth

    Some newer(ish) ones I would consider classics but not necessarily published within that time frame:

    Bridge to Terabithia

    The Giver

    Holes

    The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
