Yes to magic tree house!!! I wanted that trunk of clothes so bad. I was one that read the American girl books but never had a doll, and no I won't carry that bitterness to my grave. Felicity is my problematic fav. Tintin also falls in that category. Guess I loved adventure stories!
As an older child, it was Ella enchanted, holes, chasing Redbird, and Harry Potter (rip)

I remember Where the Wild Things Are and other art books the most. Reading The Hobbit when I did (9 or 10?) was pretty important to me. A good mix of adventure. I learned to use a dictionary really well because I had never seen many of the words in the book. Growing up in rural eastern Kentucky coal fields I didn't get a lot of help from the adults around me in that regard. I also still remember the feeling of tension and fear in the scenes with the ogres and Gollum having some comedic elements here and there to make being a little afraid fun.
Then I probably got into fantasy novels well above my age shortly after. lol Piers Anthony made several of his books anatomy lessons.

i also really loved ivy + bean, along with some graphic novels like rapunzels revenge/calamity jack by nathan hale, and all of the scott pilgrim comics when i was too young to understand themπ
