The Tintin books by Herge are good clean adventure stories for young boys age 8 to 12 and even older. The stories are historically based, teaching as well as entertaining, and illustrated with wonderfully clear artwork that holds a boy's attention. I bought these books for my son and am now buying them for my grandson. eBay provides a good inexpensive source for these books, new or used.
All of the Herge's Tin Tin books make great gifts for young readers, especially for boys but girls will enjoy them as well. The books are filled with clean wholesome fun as Tin Tin tries to solve a mystery in each book. In Land of the Black Gold the hero tries to get down to the bottom of a bad batch of gasoline that has been shipped abroad and must travel to the middle east to find out what has gone wrong.
Lovely old book in very good condition. Trying to get my 8 year old son enthused about reading on his own and think this is a good way to go with pictures explaining the text and making the story more exciting.
