Another series of books that I thoroughly enjoyed as a boy, with adventures and just the right (light) touch of science to engage a young boy's interest. I think they started out as short stories in Boy's Life, which I also read from the time I was a Cub Scout. Funny how even thinking about some of those old magazines brings back feelings as much as memories: Boy's Life, Ranger Rick, Highlights, and so forth.

One of the the all time greats! This book helped to shape my life 30 years ago and I re-read the book every couple of years.

I love the inventive can-do spirit these boys possess. The story keeps our whole family on the edge of our seat.

I gave this to Aidan as a Back-to-School gift. He was thrilled with the idea of it, and wants us to build him a tree house outback to be his club's hideout.
But the actual reading of it was less than spellbinding. They are more of a "high jinks" club than any kind of science, and the language is a bit dated. Also, why create three characters with very similar names...we're often trying to remember who was who.

I re-read this book a few years ago and these stories really hold up. They are just as fun and clever the second time around.

Another favorite from my dad’s childhood that he read aloud to us
