Old Stories

Sixth Post 06-06-05: Old Stories

Remember those old stories that we used to read as a child. I mean those stories we read when we were young readers. The stories we grew up reading.

Most of those stories are still in print today. I grew up reading "The Box Car Children," and Judy Blume’s books, "Encyclopedia Brown," etc. But the one book that still interests me today is "The Mad Scientists’ Club," by Bertrand R. Brinley.

When I was a kid at the school library, this was the book that was hard to get. And with stories of UFOs, sea monsters, and submarines, it isn’t hard to see why it was one of the more exciting titles to choose from.

The book is written for young adults, but it is suitable for all ages. The stories are well written. They use some science facts and combine it will an adventurous plot to form a story that is exciting and has a hard to predict ending. I highly recommend the series of books.
