One of the first books I can remember reading was a Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L’Engle. The concept of tesseracts totally blew my young mind.
For me it was And He Built a Crooked House.
A Wrinkle in Time and The Green Book were my first introduction to Sci-Fi books, but I was well versed in movie sci-fi by then.
Absolutely loved that book as a kid. I think trying to understand tesseracts turned into a love of math, or at least brought it out for me, too. Great book, great example of how SF can spark a child's interest in science.
