The New Adventures of the Mad Scientists' Club

I used to read the adventures of the Mad Scientists' Club as a young boy in Boys' Life - the magazine of Scouting. As a youth and a Scout I loved the stories and the mix of science and adventure. I have read some of the stories in the first volume and one of the stories in this one as serial stories in Boys' Life, so I confess to a certain nostalgia. The stories are dated because of the changes in culture and technology but they are still entertaining and they take me back to another time when life was a bit more carefree. They are, of course, targeted for young adults, but they are quick read and for many adults of today I believe they would harken back to a time when youth was a wonderful adventure.

A fun book from my childhood, although I'm not certain it's aged especially well. The charm in it still lies in the escapades they get themselves into and the small-town setting. I'm no expert but I imagine the science still holds up rather well, and of course the illustrations are nice - the kind that should be in all kids books.

A secret cavern becomes the perfect spot to restore a midget submarine, bank robbers must be apprehended, a flying sorcerer looms over Mammoth Falls and that's just the beginning of five more mad, mad MAD adventures!! This is book three in the Mad Scientists' Club series.

There are not enough stars in the ratng system for the MSC books. Truly inspirational when read as a child and comforting to read as an adult.
