To find out more about this challenge, check out Booking Mama's blog. These are oldie but goodie classics that you, or rather I remember as a child. The deal is, you pick 6 books from this list to read before April, 2010. I think you should be able to count other books by the same author. For example, The Long Secret, by Louise Fitzhugh also wrote Harriet the Spy, which in my mind is also acceptable to read. As long as it's old-school. :)
My picks:
Caroline, by Willo Davis Roberts
Harriet the Spy & The Long Secret by Louise Fitzhugh
These Happy Golden Years, by Laura Ingalls Wilder
The Westing Game, by Ellen Raskin
Amanda, by Candice Ransom
The Grounding of Group 6, by Aliane Thompson
Most of these I've read - I reserve the right to change my mind and switch them to something else.

This is going to be so much fun! I've got Harriet the Spy on my list too. Good luck with the challenge!
I thought about doing this...but then I followed various links and saw Wifey by Judy Blume on that site with all the book covers on it (do you which blog sit I'm talking about?). I thought, 'oh MY. Judy Blume, you are NOT who I thought you were.' I'm guessing that one is NOT included in this challenge.
Thanks for joining! Great list! I hope you have a lot of fun!
