I do remember the Junie B. Jones series of books and I always thought they were funny especially when Junie would make up clever nicknames for her family and friends. Like Junie would call her teacher Mrs. and the series was popular at the time. I also read the Bailey School Kids book series and I thought the book's titles were funny like Pirates Don't Wear Pink Sunglasses but the series was very clever and there was even a spinoff series called Bailey City Monsters too. In horse books I found three spinoffs of The Saddle Club but my favorite was Pony Tails because it was cute and it was about the junior riders at Pine Hollow and there was a teen series also called Pine Hollow as wellby that time i was either reading kid's books to my students or my own kids so.............
the series i ended up with an entire set of which i still have to this day are the 'junie b jones'. they remind me of the beverly cleary 'ramona' spirit that was written in the OLD books ('55 and '68). i also liked the judy blume 'fudge' books (and the books from back in the early '70's that they were sequels to).
I had to read Anne Of Green Gables for a book assignment once and did a school project on the book too and it's a lovely book. I even saw the Avonlea series on Disney Channel to read more about Anne Of Green Gables and it made me love the book even more. Madeleine L'Engle I never really got into but I have heard of A Wrinkle In Time and it's nice. Harry Potter I read and once I read the entire first chapter in a CVS store once because when Mom would shop Dad and I used to go to the book section and CVS had all sorts of series and that's where I would buy the newest books and it was so coolI loved Madeleine L'engle. The Meet the Austin's series was my favorite and I still read it every once in a while as an adult. Also the Wrinkle in Time series. I also loved Anne of Green Gables.
i think devouring these as a kid is the basis for my enjoyment of all the true crime docuseries that run these days.I liked Encyclopedia Brown
i remember my 3rd grade teacher had the entire scholastic set of these so i set a personal goal to read all of them. they were realy enjoyable.My other favorite books were biographies of famous people
I'm also a fan of the Dear America Series and I bought my first Dear America book at Costco once and really enjoyed the series and I had to do reading assignments on each book for my mom and they were great stories. I never understood why they created so many spinoffs to Dear America like My Name Is America and My America and the Royal Diaries series and it even had it's own series on HBO for a short time as well. But I was surprised to see Dear America revived and was shocked to see a second part to The Winter Of Red Snow which was the first Dear America book I read for my mom's reading assignment. I think the next Dear America Series to be revived is Royal Diaries to add more famous queens and princesses to the series. But I was shocked to see new Dear America stories in the new revival of the series. I guess Scholastic is reviving Dear America books for a new generation of todayI LOVED Dear America books. I had all of those plus the Royal Diaries and most of the My Name is America books (the boy version). I even bought some as an adult when they re-launched the series.
