ITT: Your favourite books/authors from your childhood
>Larklight is a space opera set in an alternate Victorian era, in which mankind has been exploring the solar system for at least a century, and wherein most of the planets are inhabitable. Protagonist Art Mumby narrates an attack on the British Empire and the solar system at large by an ancient, arachnid-like extraterrestrial race, against which he and his family play a central role, aided by the pirate Jack Havock and his crew.
One of my favourite settings in a novel ever. Something about a Victorian era space opera is extremely comfy.

Phillip Reeve also wrote the Mortal Engines series. I didn't like it as much because it was depressing as hell, but it was one of the better dystopian worlds ever dreamt up. It was very creative, and even though a lot of things didn't exactly make sense, the world felt extremely cohesive and fully formed.

Would you say you've formed a sentimental attachment to it?

I've formed sentimental attachments to almost every book I really enjoyed. So yes.

Redwall/Animorphs for me, pretty standard American '90s home-school stuff.
