"The White Mountains" by John Christopher. I was in first or second
grade. I can still remember the layout of the library and the exact
shelf the book was on. I also remember that the library had only the
first two books. It was years until I read the conclusion.
I had a similar experience with Russell's _Wasp_.
I encountered it at a second-hand shop in Gibraltar, as a serial in _New
Worlds_. As it happened, I started with the _middle section, but quickly
picked up the first as well. However, they didn't (then) have the issue with
the conclusion. I was a bit luckier though. I was only months, rather than
years, before I found the book in the library.
