The Tower Treasure by Leslie McFarlane, Franklin W. Dixon, Walter S. Rogers
3.0
I read this one to Jackson recently, and I had been looking forward to doing so for a while since I remember loving these as a kid. I don't remember any of the plots of them at all, even though I read essentially all of them. The reason is that I was probably mostly in 1st through 3rd grade when I read them, and then didn't read them again. They were probably very important for building myself up as a reader of longer chapter books, so I am very thankful to them for that.
That said, this book wasn't very good just purely reading it again and judging it for what it is. I don't think my tastes were that bad at that age, so my guess is that the author grew into these as he continued to write. Jackson really liked it a lot because there is that mystery-tension, but it wasn't too scary for him, and he really likes to guess clues and solutions. So I am hoping he takes up reading these himself (which he certainly is capable of doing) rather than me having to read a lot more of these to him.
