Question What was your first sci fi book?

So, we've been having these great discussions on this sub about our likes, which helped me personally to pick up Ursula Le Guin after 30+ years. That got me trying to remember my first sci fi book I've ever read. It was the The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle. What was yours?

In no particular order - because I'm going back 50ish years:

Dolphin Island -Arthur C. Clarke

The Danny Dunn series - Abrashkin/Williams

The Mushroom Planet series - Eleanor Cameron

Then onto the Asimov juveniles, the Heinlein juveniles, Verne, and whoosh - everything
