I read those books! They were awesome! I also read her other series about a 
girl named Katie Rose.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Beany Malone Books


Did anyone else on here grow up reading the Beany Malone books about
a family of teenagers and there friends set in the 1940s?  They were
published in the early 70s and were very popular then.  I have
stumbled upon a copy of one of the books on Paperback Swap and am
going to scan it for Bookshare.  I found Leave It To Beany.  There
are no titles by Lenora Mattingly Weber on Bookshare at all.  NLS has
most of the series, but I know NLS won't transfer these over when
they do the transition to digital books because they're older books
and probably aren't considered fast movers anymore.  That's a shame
because they gave me so much pleasure as a teenager.  Our times may
be different, but I'll bet they'd bring a smile to a modern teen's
face too.  The issues those kids face isn't so very different from
what kids face now, though it may seem that way on the surface.  If
any of you see books by this author at book sales, please snag them
for me.  I'll gladly reimburse you and will scan them for Bookshare
as well.  I don't care if their spines are taped up or if the cover
is messed up as long as the pages are intact.  I'm also thrilled to
see that Amazon is selling the books in a new printing.  I'll be
buying as much of the series as I can over the next few months.  If I
try hard enough, maybe I'll forget enough of the stories to make them
seen new again.  (grin)
