It's time for us to turn our attention to the topic we have up for discussion for the first two weeks of August: Popular Series Fiction.
From Nancy Drew to The Babysitter’s Club, The Hardy Boys to Goosebumps, Trixie Belden to Cirque du Freak. Every generation of readers has its own fond memories of the series books they couldn’t get enough of, as well as adults who think they should be reading something "better." What formula series books are most popular with kids and teens today? Why do you think kids gravitate to them? And which series were you addicted to as a young reader?
