Book Poor Revived
I love posting about books--hey, we own scads and read even more. My intention is to make this a weekly thing, but we'll see.
Here's what the big kids have been reading lately. I have been collecting this formerly-out-of-print series for the past few years. Whenever I see a volume or two at an antique shop, I pick one or two to buy. I read a few in elementary school, but I have mostly been a sucker for the covers. Aren't they great? Kitschy and colorful.
At any rate, this family of sleuths has provided no end of entertainment for my big kids. I love that there's a pre-pubescent arch-nemesis (Joey Brill) whose worst crimes include knocking over and breaking plates, and "driving" the Hollisters' car.
I said formerly-out-of-print because up until two years ago they were. Thanks to Amazon's CreateSpace Independent publishing platform, the family of the author is reissuing all 33 of the Happy Hollisters books.
