Childhood Memories

I read this book when I was about 9 years old and it has stayed in my mind ever since. It was the first book I read from beginning to end. It definitely left a lasting impression on me.
Old Fashioned Adventure Yarn
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I first read this book in 7th grade, 30 years ago. I have read it at least 10 more times since. A mystery/adventure tale set in the Canadian arctic. Plenty of action and suspense. I highly recommend it for the teenage boy who does not like to read. You just might make a reader of him. It worked for me.
One of the First Books I've Ever Read. Great Adventure
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Island at the Top of the World was one of the first books I read as a kid, and it really captured my imagination. A great adventure story with an airship that goes to the Arctic in search of ambergris, the stuff in sperm whales they use in perfume. The subplot has a guy searching for his long lost brother if I recall right. Anyway it's great for kids and someday I hope to see the Disney film.
1960's edition of Jules Verne storylines.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
If you like Jules Verne, Ian Fleming, or even Clive Cussler, you should like this novel. It made for fast reading in an adventurous way. Although I have not seen the movie, the novel was descriptive enough that I feel I almost did. Light hearted pre-techno-thriller reading.
