My favorite childhood books-- the books that turned me into a reader-- were the Tom Swift Jr. Books by Victor Appleton II (pseudonym). These were great books by the Strattemeyer group who did the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew but they are different from the original Tom Swift books that my grandfather read.

All of the original Tom Swift books are available at Manybooks and other places, but so far I've only seen 2 (of the 34) Tom Swift Jr. Books. They are at Manybooks: Tom Swift and his Electronic Hydrolung and Tom Swift and the Visitor from Planet X.
