This review is from: Henry Reed's Journey (Library Binding)

...However, this collection of Henry and Midge's adventures hasn't aged quite as well as the best in the series: Henry Reed, Inc. and Henry Reed's Babysitting Service. I would recommend those two first, and if you enjoy them you will likely appreciate Henry Reed's Journey as well. My daughters loved the Henry Reed books (at ages 8 through about 12).

I read these when I was young and my 9-year-old loves them too, though they are harder to find now.

This review is from: Henry Reed's Journey (Paperback)

These Henry Reed books were some of the first books I have ever read, and I enjoyed them much, and of course I wished there were more than three (there are, but the newer ones weren't available back then). Every time our family went to the library I would go directly to the Keith Robertson section and see if there were any new titles. They are the typical children's novels, a smart boy figures out things the adults around him are unable to. The best is *Henry Reeds Journey* - a picaresque.

I recently went back and reread what I first consider the first "real" book I read while I was a child: *The Year of the Jeep* also by Keith Robertson. considered it my first real book because it didn't have any illustrations, even on the cover (in the copy I originally borrowed from the Oak Lawn Library.)

I have a review of it here, somewhere.

(If you are an adult) I would strongly advise going back and finding the "first book I ever read" and rereading it. Fun.
