Fifth Grade?

Hmmm... 1975, started it at Elmwood in Ottawa, finished it – rather disasterously – at Weyhill Prep School (later amalgamated into the Tanglin Trust School) in Singapore. All I can really remember reading at that point was Nancy Drew mysteries and Willard Price's Adventure series. I suspect that there were other books as well, since I spent the entire term at Weyhill with a book in one hand. The principal even called the parental units in and suggested to them that there might be a problem with me as I was reading too much. I suspect the units met that remark with incredulity – "reading too much" is not a concept that librarians are inclined to understand.

Unfortunately for me, Bruce Coville wasn't writing in the seventies, so I missed out on being able to read cool books like I Left My Sneakers in Dimension X. I'm making up for that now, and glad to find that this sequel to Aliens Ate My Homework is even better. I like the way the main character is developing, and look forward to the next two in the series.
