I liked Fleischman's books a lot as a kid, but haven't read them since, and should.

I re-read Chancy and the Grand Rascal as recently as 2012 and thought that it held up. Unless a couple of titles are lurking at my parents' currently, equally inaccessible house, all of our Fleischman is in storage right now, alas.

Tangent: a while ago I got some compostable flatware, and quipped on Facebook that it was really quite good, and their slogan should be Buy the Great Corn Spoon!

. . . That might well induce me, personally, to purchase one.
