Hi, all,

I've had to be absent from the list for a while, and I have to confess to having not been able to follow much of what's been said about series fiction -- but I hope someone's mentioned Barbara Seuling's wonderful and popular ROBERT series, published in hardcover by FrontStreet/Cricket and in paper by Scholastic, and illustrated by Paul Brewer. Second-grader Robert is one of the most engagingly human kid characters I've read in a long time --he's thoroughly nice, often bumbling and uncertain, makes mistakes that every kid will recognize
-- and always comes through, a little wiser and a little stronger, in the end.

Nancy G.
