Ok, so sort of strange, but the book that probably got me the most when I was younger was The Trumpet Of The Swan. In grade 3 it was the book that my teacher read to us in the Spring. I really liked it a lot and came up with all sorts of questions that basically made me look as awkward as namesake, and so my teacher gave me her copy of the book to take home and read ahead. She didn't even have another copy to continue reading during the day, so she went out and bought a new copy so I could keep mine at home to read before bed each night. I was so crushed when we were finishing the book as a group (I had already read it 2 or 3 times by then), and was utterly shocked when she said I could keep it.
It was probably most influencial because it was the first book that made me want to read over and over again (bar Dr Suess when I was super young in my bed on Sunday mornings before my parents got up that is), and I feel like it started me on my literary journey.
