★★★☆☆ The New Adventures of the Mad Scientists' Club, by Bertrand R. Brinley
More of the same, but not as good
The New Adventures of the Mad Scientists' Club

More of the same, but not as good
If you have read Bertrand R. Brinley's The Mad Scientists' Club, The New Adventures of the Mad Scientists' Club will be familiar. It contains five more stories about the Mad Scientists' Club, to wit,
The Telltale Transmitter
The Cool Cavern
Big Chief Rainmaker
The Flying Sorcerer
The Great Confrontation
These vary in quality, but on the average they are not, in my opinion, as good as those in the first book. I enjoyed the first, "The Telltale Transmitter" quite a lot, but the rest seemed to be straining too hard to be zany and quirky, to the extent of occasionally betraying the boys' characters.
