I have a copy of Homeward Bound written by Alice B Emerson. Is there any value to it?
That’s a difficult question, and only partly because I’m not an expert on the value of series books. I’ve seen Ruth Fielding books in good condition go for anywhere from $5 to $35. The better the condition, obviously, the higher the value. Having a dust jacket also raises the value considerably. Homeward Bound isn’t one I’ve seen frequently, so it might go for more, but a lot depends on where you try to sell it.
Just came across 6 of these books stacked in my bosses house. They looked pretty old so I thought I see what they were. :)
You should give them a try. They’re pretty fun.
I have 21 of the books. I got them at a yard sale at my elementary school when I was in 4th grade and loved them. I thought I was only missing a couple but I didn’t even realize the last few existed until now. Now I want to find the ones I’m missing and read the whole series.
BEST BOOKS EVERRRRRRR!!!
:D
