With maybe two or three exceptions they are his best work and
hold up very well. This was before Heinlein became all but
unreadable in later years.

I have taught Heinlein's juvenalia previously, and have had
classes that focused on Sci-fi and fantasy, which is why I'm
avoiding it this time.
While I have to admit that I did like even Heinlein's later
novels (though it read like he'd been given a maximum page
count, and suddenly realized he only had 20 pages to wrap
everything up), but I will agree that his juvenalia are among
his best
And If I find myself with extra time, I might go ahead and add a
few sci-fi and fantasy novels (Space Cadet, Ender's Game, Pawn
of Prophecy).

Cute, but in seriousness - the boys surprised me with how they
handled the Paulsen novels, so it could happen.

Thank you for giving us the book list. Several of them bring
back found memories and a couple of them that I never read sound
interesting. Some of the books on the list have made it to my
to be read list :)

And that makes my day. I hope you enjoy them. I've been
reading along, and have had to re-read a few ahead of time, and
I've found most of them to be as enjoyable as when I first read
them.
