That's one of my favorite Heinleins. I even love the slide rules, enough to put them into my own book.

Favorite Juvenile Heinlein?

[cheddartrek]

I've read several of your reviews of Heinlein's juvenile series, and I think I read one or two of them when I was a youth, but I'm pretty sure you've said in a few of your reviews something along the lines of... "This isn't my favorite Heinlein Juvenile, but it's pretty good."

What is your favorite one of them? Or top3?

I'm not sure which one is my very favorite, but my top 3 would be Podkayne of Mars, Citizen of the Galaxy, and Star Beast. (The latter is reviled by many of Heinlein's fans, but I have fond memories of it.)

Arguably Starship Troopers, but though some classify it as one of his juveniles, I don't agree.

Thanks by the way! I thought I'd posted last week to say so, but apparently I didn't.

Read the descriptions and added Star Beast to my reading list (Starship Troopers was already slated for a re-read). Cheers!
