The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet, and its sequels.
I don't recall the author.

Welcome to Mars.  I think maybe Arthur C. Clarke.  One of the
Names, at any rate.  About a teenager who somehow invents an
effective anti-gravity generator, and builds what is
effectively a soap-box spaceship.  He and his girlfriend go to
Mars, crash just hard enough to be unable to leave, build a
spark-gap radio-beacon, and survive for a year and a half or
so.   Until rescued, that is.

Danny Dunn and the (time machine, shrinking machine, invisible
submarine, etc., etc.)

p.s.  Apparently I was incorrect in the title of the reprint of
the Wall of Serpents.  But I stand on its reprintedness.
