• Ranking The Princess Tales

  It’s clear that Levine excells in her humorous fractured fairytales and the short stories of The Princess Tales are no exception. I highly suggest parents or at least librarians stock this series for story time. It’s a very whimsical series and kids are sure to enjoy it.

• Warriors: The New Prophecy

  Ah, the next generation come of age and everything changes for the warrior cats. Yet some things stay the same. I had only read the first two books when I was little before abruptly stopping so this was all brand new for me, and I had no idea what would happen next. Okay, I actually…

• Warriors: The Prophecies Begin

  So I decided to officially reread the Warriors series which should be interesting as I’ve only gotten through the first eight books so the rest of the expanded world is a whole new adventure for me to read. I’m very excited. So my first post on this will be pretty quick as I remember the…

• Ranking the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place

  This delightfully Snicket-esque series was fun to reread even as an adult as Penelope Lumely’s adventures with the feral Ashton children are filled with humor, wit, and mystery.

• Ranking The Friendship Ring

  This 1998-2000 series precisely disects, and relives to the messiness of friendship and adolescence. As the first protagonist introduces the series, seventh grade is where hormones hit you and you end up crying on the bathroom floor over nothing. Something Zoe Grandon thought she’d never do. But then again, she never thought she’d get a…

• Ranking Wondergirls

  No, no, not the Kpop group from the 2000s Wonder Girls. I’m talking about the early 2000s book series from Scholastic by Jillian Brooks. It’s generic as it’s all about four girls and their ups and downs in the ever complicated girl world of friendship but it’s a solid series I believe like a disney…

• Ranking Magic Attic Club Specials

  Another series from a small publisher, also connected to a store catalogue of dolls, clothes and acessories, the Magic Attic Club follows four (later five) friends who befriend their neighbor, Ellie. She owns the titular attic where, when the girls put on the amazing outfits, they’re transported to out of this world adventures from going…

• Ranking Kat the Time Traveler

  It’s the summer so I’m back on my summer reread. Which is a lot of kids book, mainly from the late 90s. Yes, they’re generic and cliche but they’re also very comfortable like an old. . . like an old book. Anyway, let’s get to it. The premise follows 10 year old Kat and her…

• Ranking Girlhood Journeys

  Now this series may be more popular in the doll collectors circle, but I’ve always been more into books than dolls and read each trillogy assigned to each doll that tells a little about what it is like for ten year olds back in their respective time periods. There’s also a 13th book about a…

• Ranking The Chronicles of Prydian

  No, not the Disney movie, the Disney movie butchered the books if that’s what you’re thinking of when it comes to The Black Cauldron. But you wouldn’t be reading this if you were into the Disney movie, would you? I’ve noticed I have made my rankings longer than necessary by describing the plot which I…
