Heinlein's juveniles (companion)

[J-Sun]

This is a companion thread to Heinlein's juveniles. I just wanted a poll to go with it. Probably not much need to post in this thread, as the other exists unless there's something about the poll itself.

My votes are somewhat random as I don't remember all of them clearly and do remember liking most all of them. So it's hard to pick, but I'm pretty sure Red Planet, Starman, and Starship are right for me, at least.

* The asterisks in the poll choices are to indicate that the first dozen were an annual event published by Scribner's while Starship Troopers was submitted to Scribner's as usual but was rejected for being too violent for its audience, so Heinlein quit writing juveniles except for the belated Podkayne, published by Putnam's.

Does "Double Star" have an alternative title, as its my favourite and is not listed?

Double Star isn't one of his juvenile novels; hence isn't part of the list.

Yeah Double Star and The Door Into Summer are Heinlein's two best adult novels , I don't think they are very well known.

Star Man Jones is the class act of all those young adult novels. One of the few juvies with interstellar flight.
Have Space Suit Will Travel is better written

I don't count Star Ship Troopers as a 'juvie' since Scribner's rejected for that and Heinlein was just a well it be considered a main stream SF novel.

I assume everyone knows how The Door Into Summer got its name?
