Tom Swift, Jr.

Tom Swift, Jr is the protagonist in a series of children's adventure novels, following in the tradition of the earlier Tom Swift novels.

For this series the books were mostly outlined by Harriet Stratemeyer Adams[?] of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, quickly written under the pseudonym Victor Appleton II, and published by Grosset & Dunlap, Inc. Typical elements include Tom's friend Bud Barclay, spies, typically from a fictitious East-European country, use of a wonder-material called Tomasite that did anything the book needed, and atomic-powered everything. A total of 33 books were eventually published.
