Series books are fantastic and now I think of them like fictional case studies for kids. I used to devour Goosebumps by R.L. Stine, American Girl, The Baby-sitters Club by Ann M. Martin and the Sweet Valley High books by Francine Pascal to name a few of my favorites.

I remember a babysitter bringing me a bag of her old books and how excited I was to have books from an older girl. I don’t remember all the books in the bag, but I know one was Starring Sally J. Friedman as Herself by Judy Blume. I also read the entire Baby-sitter’s Club series by Ann M. Martin many times.

A lot of Lurlene McDaniel (she was 25 years before her time in the sick-lit craze). Also a lot of holocaust historical fiction — Number the Stars by Lois Lowry and Summer of My German Soldier by Bette Greene. Guess we had a taste for the macabre. But also, like all 80s kids, we read everything from Baby-sitters Club…
