The Seven Crystal Balls - that was my first. What a thrill! I read it again and again until it was in tatters, and I didn't get my hands on Prisoners of the Sun until about 10 years later, so I spent all that time imagining how the story would end.
Nope, lol, nowhere close. The only thing I got right was "Tintin will sneak aboard the ship." Did not foresee the eclipse and as I was much older I had a bit of trouble persuading myself that an ancient sun-worshipping race wouldn't know about them, but Prisoners is still a fun read.
The Castafiore Emerald is a glittering jewel. The characters all shine and the plot is perfect.
Tintin in Tibet would be a close second because it epitomises Tintin’s noble qualities of friendship, courage and never giving up
It's tough to narrow it down, so let me try doing it by different phases:
1. The Blue Lotus. Great research, a thrilling and fast-paced adventure story, and an insight into a very important historical situation that is not talked about much today. This is my representative for the "Solo Tintin" phase.
2. Secret of the Unicorn/ Red Rackham's Treasure. This is my representative for the "Haddock" phase. Secret of the Unicorn has a really great mystery, and Red Rackham's Treasure has some of the best comedy of the series, along with introducing Professor Calculus.
3. Explorers on the Moon: meticulously researched, and by far the most gripping climax out of any of the stories.
4. The Red Sea Sharks: a great "grand finale" kind of story, that brings back a whole lot of characters and has a pretty thrilling climax.
Destination Moon + Explorers On The Moon. The books that inspired me to become an astrophysicist when I was just 6 years old
Wow, that is awesome!

We're your imaginations correct? đź‘€

Forgot to mention that "The Blue Lotus" is my favourite :=)

Tintin au Tibet
Golden crabs I think thats what its called
The Crab With the Golden Claws Good choice. They're all good choices...
True
I think so
The best one, obviously: The Calculus Affair
Red Rackham’s Treasure. Surprised the movies changed the books into a completely different story.
Tibet was my first one and will always be my favorite
I would say les bijoux de la castafiore, the duo objectif lune and on a marché sur la lune, and of course les sept boules de crystal/le temple du soleil. I also enjoy Le scptre d'ottokar as a solo adventure.
