Manga are so "in" now with the kids that Scholastic has to have them. As you no doubt realize, not all manga are suitable for the subteens, but fortunately more are being produced that are acceptable now.
I generally like the long narrative, and Watership Down is a favorite for me, but The Wind in the Willows and Black Beauty color my earliest memories. My mother read those to us as bed time stories, along with Mother West Wind's How Stories and Kipling's Jungle Book. My grandmother used to read Joel Chandler Harris to me. Now he's considered so politically incorrect that you can hardly find him.
I think furry fiction makes me more wistful than connected much of the time, but I keep writing it anyway. XD
