Title: A Wrinkle in Time
Author: Madeleine L' Engle
A Wrinkle in Time is a children's fantasy novel by Madeleine L'Engle, written from 1959 to 1960 and published in 1962 after at least 26 rejections by publishers because it was, in L'Engle's words, too different. The book went on to win a Newbery Medal, Sequoyah Book Award, and Lewis Carroll Shelf Award, and was runner-up for the Hans Christian Andersen Award. It is the first in L'Engle's series of books about the Murry and O'Keefe families.

It focuses around ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen, who is living in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1943 and is caught up in the events surrounding the rescue of the Danish Jews.

Title: Shiloh
Author: Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
An 11-year-old boy finds an abused dog and takes care of it instead of returning to its rightful owner in fear of the dog being mistreated again. By doing so, he has to face some moral dilemma such as: Should he tell his parents? Should he steal food to help the poor creature? This 1992 Newberry Medal winner is a heartwarming novel that tells a lot of lessons children will learn from.

Title: The Giver
Author: Lois Lowry
The Giver is a soft science fiction novel written by Lois Lowry and published on April 16, 1993. It is set in a future society which is at first presented as a utopia and gradually appears more and more dystopic, so could therefore be considered anti-utopian. The novel follows a boy named Jonas through the twelfth year of his life. Jonas' society has eliminated pain and strife by converting to 'Sameness', a plan which has also eradicated emotional depth from their lives.
