Favourite Book pick of my earlier years were any of the Nancy Drew mystery stories by Carolyn Keene

 NANCY DREW and THE CASE OF THE RADIOACTIVE CORN

(that's one I missed ha ha!)

Book…Treasure Island

 Michael couldn’t guess this was Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson….

It was the best picture of an island I could find…and I covered it in objects I would think of as treasures…

Job done.
