I have to say though, The Witcher is an epic book!!! I absolutely love it
TOM SWIFT AND HIS ELECTRIC RUNABOUT.
The locale was the Stockton, California area. He never evinced any complaints about his early elecrtic auto.
THE BOBBSEY TWINS was a series I often bought at Read's Department Store in Bridgeport. Conn.

Where the Red Feen Grows, My Side of the Mountain, Indian in the Cupboard, Julie of the Wolves, anything by Roald Dahl
I loved the Indian in the Cupboard series. Not sure how it would stand up today...
It’s probably banned. For the children…
Growing up in 50's it had to be Anatomy Magazine at Barber
Shops.
Shops.
sorry if this has been mentioned. It's not a book, but Highlights magazine when I was a kid was all over Dr's and dentists' offices. I remember goofus and gallant. As an adult, I think back on the fond memories I had of that publication.
I was a fan of the hidden pictures too.
As a child, my favorites included the various Pooh and related books by A.A.Milne. A tiny bit older I loved The Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling, The Magic Currant Bun by John Symonds, and Ferdinand the Bull by Munro Leaf. I devoured everything from the Children's Book of the Month Club.
Goofus and Gallant rocked (What were Goofus's parents expecting when they chose his name?)

I've mentioned Choose Your Own Adventure Books before but this one was a favorite of mine.
I loved those. There was also a series of Sherlock Holmes books that was more of a role playing book where you had to role dice in order to determine an outcome.
Yes! How did I forget that.
The first Choose Your Own Adventure book I read was called Spy for George Washington. It got me hooked on the series. I read it because I was a big old history nerd even when I was learning to read. I didn't realize how the book was was structured. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that I could make decisions and they would affect the outcome of the story.

I loved this one as well.
I liked mystery books when I was a kid, but I never realized that CYOA had mystery books. Otherwise I would've been all over those, too!
The mystery books I read in elementary school were the Encyclopedia Brown and the Two Minute Mysteries series (both by Donald J. Sobol), The Three Investigators series, the Hardy Boys series, and the Sherlock Holmes series.
