Same same .. Encyclopedia Brown was my jam.. also greatly enjoyed the Hardy Boys .. and Judy Blume had a series of books for boys, i remember the male counterpart to Are you there god its me Margaret was a book called ‘Then Again maybe i Wont’… and did she write Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing and Superfudge or was that Beverly Cleary ? I think it was JB………. Anyway all that came to a halt in the 8th grade when i read Catcher in the Rye and since then life’s never been the same .
