What are some of your favorite classic "children's books" that would in modern day be labeled as YA? How about NA?

One of my favorites is Huck Finn.

I always preferred Tom Sawyer to Huck Finn, myself.

One of my favorite classics is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/Alice Through the Looking Glass. Technically, yes, they're still touted as children's books, but I never considered them as such. If they were, they wouldn't be examined by high school students, I would think.

I agree Voss. Those are some of my favorite classics as well. :)

Well, it is very much both. So I think it would fall under NA - New adult - in today's categories.
