"My first big thick book I read. My teacher told me it would be too hard for me, I was nine at the time. So I stole (I like to think 'rescued') the book from school and savoured it's delicious story. I still have it :')"

"Really made me want to go to boarding school, a dream I've never really outgrown even though I'll be leaving school next year. I like to think university will be a bit like boarding school."

"One night I had terrible ezcema, and the cream the doctor gave me was burning my legs. I was only eight or nine, and I was in agony. I stayed up all night with this book and others in the series, it took my mind off the pain and I will be forever grateful to Mr. Eager for that :)

"I remember getting up really early to get this book. Mammy went to Smiths and got it and I curled up on the armchair in the living room and devoured the book. I finished it in one day. I was sad it was over. It became my favourite Harry Potter."

"We used to scare ourselves silly with these in primary school. We used to make a beeline for them in the library and watch them on tv. We used to play games to scare ourselves, and we half believed our own imaginations."

"I loved this. I used to read it at school and I felt all safe and comfortable when I was reading it. I used to make a nest/house for my pens and pencils out of my school jumper and play games when I was bored or finished my work. Once I got told off for reading instead of doing my work. It makes me rage blind to think of it now. She embarrassed me in front of everyone, just because I was too advanced for the work we were getting. Most of my early education came from books like this, and I am indebted to the authors."

"I loved these, I used to scour charity shops for them. I always thought Peter was a bit sexist because the boys got to have all the fun, but I also secretly fancied him a little. I used to imagine I was in the secret seven and it led to many passwords being invented to get into my backyard :')"

"Very sad and scary to read as a child, but I just couldn't put it down. It taught me that sometimes children can be stronger than adults."

"I judged this book by its cover for years. When I finally read it I was happy to admit I was wrong, that it was brilliant. I used to play with marbles, pretending they were jewels I could trade for faery knowledge while I read it. Started a long love affair with faery stories. Also, Mulch is so funny."

"I spent one long summer reading these, I had a huge box of them. I was going through an animal phase at the time and I had like sixty of these books. I used to stay up all night reading them. It's only now I realise they were all mostly the same plot hahaha!"
