Time for another list.
I don’t have many books that make me cry.
They’re probably very traditional but here they are…
(when I say cry – I mean a lump in my throat, a constricted feeling around my heart and a few heartfelt tears – I don’t think any book has ever made me sob uncontrollably).

Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery
Seven Little Australians by Ethel Turner
The Bridge To Terabithia by Katherine Paterson
Looking For Alibrandi by Marlena Marchetta
The Power of One by Bryce Courtney
