The "Tom Swift" volumes arrived in perfect order and were sent off to my Grandsons. I immediately received a phone call from the boys (this is a very rare occurance on their part and must have taken a great effort). "Poppy, how did you get Mr. Goodchild to put our names in my book", was asked over and over again. I said that Mr. Goodchild was a very special person and publishes wonderful books for boys. What I feel is really the most important thing is that the boys from the minute they received the books actually sat down and read them from cover to cover. Try to get them to do that with a school book!!! David, I cannot say just how much my wife and I appreciate the extra effort you went to in order to see that these beautiful volumes were properly done and sent in such a timely manner. Most sincerely, J. S. - Ft Lauderdale, Fl

There are several series in our very extensive list which feature young girls in adventurous or life-affirming situations. One of these is The Girl Aviators a series by Margaret Burnham. There are four titles in this adventure similar in scope and adventure to the Tom Swift collection. Here, the two characters to be changed are the two girl principals, Jess and Peggy. Other options are the many titles by Laura Lee Hope in The Outdoor Girls Series. We have four available at this time. (Click on either series to see titles)

Actually, any of our titles can be utilized to create a unique gift for anyone of any age--child or adult. How about a friend or relative being the hero in one of Emile Gaboriau's great mystery stories or featured in a Balzac or Maupassant or D.H. Lawrence or Jack London novel. Anything is possible! Use your imagination! If the book is 180 pages or less, the price is still $24.95 for both copies with two characters changed. If the book is listed at more than 180 pages or more than 2 characters need to be changed, send us a email for a quote. (Just one thing; we will not character substitute any villains--only the heroes!)
