The Railway Children is a children's book by Edith Nesbit, originally serialised in The London Magazine during 1905 and first published in book form in 1906. It has been adapted for the screen several times, of which the 1970 film version is the best known. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography credits Oswald Barron, who had a deep affection for Nesbit, with having provided the plot. 
The setting is thought to be inspired by Edith's walks to Chelsfield railway station close to where she lived, and her observing the construction of the railway cutting and tunnel between Chelsfield and Knockholt.

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne (1870) (Completed) by JulesVerne

In 1866, ships of several nations spot a mysterious sea monster, which some suggest is a giant narwhal. The US government assembles an expedition to find and destroy the monster. Professor Pierre Aronnax, a French marine biologist (and narrator within the story) receives a last-minute invitation to join the expedition. As the expedition travels south around Cape Horn into the Pacific Ocean, the crew finds the monster after a long search and then attack it, but the ship is damaged with the three main protagonists thrown into the water. They are quickly captured and then meet the enigmatic Captain Nemo. ~ Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is a classic science fiction novel by French writer Jules Verne and was originally published in 1870. The novel was originally serialized between March 1869 and June 1870 in Pierre-Jules Hetzel's periodical, the Magasin d'Éducation et de Récréation. An illustrated edition, published by Hetzel in November 1871, included 111 illustrations by Alphonse de Neuville and Édouard Riou.

The Dead Zone by wxnderland_addict

The 'end of the world' is rarely, really, the end of the world. But it could be the end of everything you know. Your friends. Your coworkers. Your family. What if you were left stranded with your classmates after a natural disaster? What if no one could get any signal and no help could reach you? And what if, on top of all that, a meteor filled with celestial space dust had crashed into your city, destroying whatever was left of where you lived and making everyone a little... different? Oh yeah. And the alligators. I almost forgot to mention the alligators. We have three rules. Travel in packs. Get to the mainland without dying. And don't drink the water.
