I found the books on Magnus's list good, and the others look interesting too...
You might be interested also in:
* other sailing authors books in The Mariner's Library, selected and introduced by AR
* "The xxxxx Kids" series of currently 5 books by Jon Tucker, where xxxx changes from book to book e.g. Snake Island, Eco Pirate, This is a deliberate attempt to write S&A type books for the current generation of children (and issues), even down to similar style covers. Set in Aus and NZ and written by a live-aboard Kiwi who with his wife built their ketch and brought up 5 boys on board in a fairly S&A / AR way. The books are shorter and faster paced, not nearly as good to my mind as S & A, but interesting....
