The Prince and The Pauper, Mark Twain.
I'm openly not a big Mark Twain fan and never could get into Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. But I gotta admit I really liked this one! It's a great little story. One we all know of whether we've read it or not, but seeing it unfold as written was a real treat. It wasn't just funny but surprisingly intense and loving. It appeals to kids through the adult characters that are just too stubborn to listen to reason and also to adults through the parallel plight of to Prince's protector. I'm glad I decided to keep this one when I was letting go of books that I thought I'd never read. It's definitely in queue for a reread in the future.
