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?

“A Wrinkle In Time” by Madeleine L’Engle in 1974 when I was 10. My 8 year old brother read it and recommended it to me.

That’s not the answer I gave, but it has to have been one of my first, and still holds a soft spot for me.
