How about That's So Raven series, or Maya and Miguel?

Another interesting thing is when a series (usually a linked series) starts as paperback. Then the series gets popular, and moves to hardcover (which isn't usually as popular for circulation as paperback.) Example - The Magic Tree House is now hardcover, probably with a paperback in about a year. Example - the new series by Garth Nix starting with Mister Monday. The first 2 were paperback original. The third was hardcover and the first 2 are being reissued in hardcover. But the paperback is going to be more popular at my library.
Two wishes: 1. More ethnic diversity in series books. I need a 9-12 series with African American characters (well of course I need more than one) who are not superstars etc. (I do have Willimena Rules but that's young.) Ditto Hispanic characters, ditto Asian characters. (I do have Wright and Wong.) And I need these for YA also. I don't need heavy thoughtful books - I need light-hearted series just like those written with white characters. Where are they?
2. I need The Babysitter Club, Sweet Valley High, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and all the Mary Kate and Ashley series to be reprinted (and, hopefully, to be continued.) These are still popular and requested.
