A Bit Off Topic


 

Greetings!

Recently I decided to try some juvenile series I had barely heard of. They are:

Ted Wilford # 9: The Big Cat Mystery by Norvin Pallas. Copyright 1961 and 1989 for this Wildside Press edition.

The Wallace Boys # 7 though not actually numbered as such: Hostage in the Highlands by Duncan Watt. Copyright 1995 by Tynron Press.

Bob Blake # 1 again, not actually numbered: The Trail of the Golden Feather by Ryerson Johnson. Copyright 1963 by Collier Books.

Mark and Bud Champion # 4 though not numbered: The Barking Cat Case by William Manners. Copyright 1963 by Collier Books.

I think I would have enjoyed these better if I had started reading them as a kid. They were good reads but I have no wish to purchase others.

Of the four, I found the Ted Wilford and Bob Blake to be my favorites.

I found the Wallace Boys to be overflowing with educational facts that took away from the mystery. The maps were deeply detailed and a marvel.

Have any of you read any books in these series?

On a related topic, I'm about to read my latest two Brains Benton books that I just received:

The Mystery of the Haunted Airplane by Sean Murphy. Published by Half-Ass Productions via Lulu.

The Case of the Templar's Sword by Charles Morgan. Sedna Publishing Group via Blurb.
