This review is from: south sea adventure (Hardcover)

I am 45 years old and read all of Willard Price's books when I was in junior high. I was caught up in each and every one of them! How I helped the boys struggle through each adventure! When my son was in his early teen years, I purchased all of the Price books that I could find for him. I am so excited that Amazon.com can find some of the books for me that I couldn't find years ago!! These books should be mandatory reading for all junior high students - male or (like me) female.

These Willard Price books are addicting to kids in my class...particularly boys. They read one after another until they've read them all. So glad I found a place to order them.
