| 3. The New Adventures of the Mad Scientists' Club |
|
By: Bertrand R. Brinley
Publisher: Macrae Smith Co
1968-06
...none of these stories are up to the level of the weakest story in the original "Mad Scientist's Club." I can't put my finger on what exactly is missing; maybe it was impossible to come up with original ideas for wacky schemes after the marvelous first collection. So here we have some obviously derivative stories, like a fake flying saucer taking the place of a fake sea serpant or an unidentified... more

| 9. Scarlet Royal | 
|
By: Anne Emery
Publisher: Macrae Smith Co
1952
Nice story with a good moral base to it. Unfortunately the author knew very little about horses and had a two year old horse jumping in shows --- other than the error, it is a good read and a good book for girls who love horses. Without this error, I would have given it five stars. 3-1/2 stars... more
