The Red Tent by Anita Diamant, The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, definitely The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein (good call, gogannon), and Her Name, Titanic by Charles Pellegrino.
Justagirl, I remember that - Kirsten's best friend Marta dies and they carry her off the boat in a coffin. God, how depressing. I much preferred Molly's trip to camp where she plays Capture the Flag.

Posted: 10/22/06 at 7:35amReading this list I realize what a crybaby I am when it comes to books. There are some picture books from when I was little that even today still make me cry.

Posted: 10/22/06 at 7:48amHaha, Where The Red Fern Grows automatically popped into my head too. I read it in fifth grade and it was the first book I ever cried reading. I don't cry very frequently at books, though.

I don't really cry when I read really sad books. If I'm going to cry, then it will be during a really sad movie.
I don't understand why, but I got a bit teary at the end of Spirit and at the end of the movie Where the Red Fern Grows.
