In reply to Barb. I have heard of the G. Stilton books, although I have not read them. I understand kids really like them and so I never felt like I needed to put them on a list because they were already so popular. You could try The Terrible Two series, or The Brixton Brothers series. Both are by Mac Barnett, the author of Mac B.

I'm so glad I found your page! I've given my great-nephew the first Mac.B spy book and it was such a great hit he went and got the rest! Now I'm looking for a new series for around the 7 to 11 age group (he's young but smart:) so I can get him hooked on that and have future gifts partly handled. Haha. I love it when you include some age ranges and your descriptions are super helpful! I'm wondering if you've heard of the Geronimo Stilton spy series and do you have an opinion? Thanks.

I loved Chasing Vermeer You also include a number of series I have yet to read. I will share this with my middle schooler for sure. Thanks. I hope that you will consider linking up posts to Literacy Musing Mondays. Here is this week's link: http://maryanderingcreatively.com/literacy-musing-mondays-love-reading-community/

You had several of our favorites here so we'll have to check out the rest.

Another favorite in our house is the C. Alan Bradley Flavia De luce series...it is more explicit (murder, plots to harm) and in the adult mystery section but with a preteen female protagonist who loves Chemistry it was fascinating and fun.
