These would be stories that could almost be true, except for believable, somewhat magical events requiring slight suspension of disbelief that make it all happen.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White (rarely truly appreciated for brilliance in concise, descriptive, original writing that appeals to multiple ages)
Half Magic by Edward Eager
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo (if you’ve been waiting for Hitty to meet the Velveteen Rabbit, this is it!)
The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke
