Danny Dunn & the Anti Gravity Paint

Danny Dunn, Book 1

Through a mishap in Professor Bulfinch's laboratory, Danny accidentally creates an anti-gravity paint. The natural use, of course, is for a spaceship - the paint can replace rockets to get the ship into space. Unfortunately, the spaceship is launched prematurely after Danny and Joe follow Professor Bulfinch and Dr. Grimes on a tour of the ship. A mechanical failure dooms the four to a one-way trip out of the Solar System - unless they can repair the spaceship in time!

This is the first of the 15-volume Danny Dunn series and features the original cover by acclaimed artist Ezra Jack Keats. Look for Danny Dunn on a Desert Island, the second volume of the series, coming soon from Wildside Press!

Entertaining SCI FI for kids

I forgot how funny these were. It was fun introducing my 10,7 and 6 year old to Danny Dunn, they really enjoyed them. The narrator was GREAT as well! I wish they had more than just Book 1 and 2! Some of the other books in the series were really hilarious as well!

What A Delightful Flashback!

If you loved these stories as a kid or if you know a kid who needs a push toward sci-fi, consider this excellently-crafted, funny, thought-provoking series.

It's still a joy today!
