As a boy, I loved "Swallowdale" best, because it was all plausible childhood closely observed, followed by "Secret Water", because I lived nearby. "Pidgeon Post" I disliked, because of the fire. Too scary.
Now, I tend to like whichever book I read last, but "We Didn't Mean To Go To Sea" tends to come out ahead, with the exception of the pier head jump in Flushing. The Broads books and the two Peter Duck stories have improved with age.
