I know this is REALLY juvenile fiction, but has anyone else read the Louis Slobodkin books? (Spaceship Under the Apple Tree, etc.) They were the first sci-fi I ever read, and I guess it drew me in immediately.

They are a series of books about a kid who meets a small alien from a planet called "Martinea" and who both attend Scout jamborees and interstellar conferences together. Admittedly I read the books back in the late sixties so they may not even be in print anymore, but I was curious as to whether anyone else read them and liked them.

Have never heard of them but they sound like fun stories. Perhaps more lighthearted than John Christopher's juvenile science fiction.
