School is out, the weather is hot, and Interabang Books is beckoning. What better time than summer to immerse yourself in reading a good series? The lazy, hazy days of summer allow the time and lack of distraction to get to know the places, characters and continuing sagas of a great children’s series. The feeling of disappointment in finishing a good book vanishes when one knows that another volume awaits, with the familiar characters ready to transport you along on another adventure.
Whether you enjoy some of the first classics that are still in print like THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN, THE HAPPY HOLLISTERS, THE HARDY BOYS, NANCY DREW, and A WRINKLE IN TIME, or you prefer a new classic like HARRY POTTER, THE PENDERWICKS, or A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS, or a new adventure like A TALE DARK AND GRIMM, ADA LACE ON THE CASE, or THE LEMONADE WAR, we have many great series with which you can pass the hot summer days.
Here are some of our favorite kids book series...
First published in the 1950’s, this set of 10 graphic novels starring the young, brave reporter Tintin and his faithful dog, Snowy, have been translated into over 70 languages and have sold over 200 million copies throughout the world. Come along on an adventure as Tintin and Snowy outwit evil doers and solve mysteries.
Perhaps this summer finds you trying your hand at running a lemonade stand… or perhaps you would rather read the Lemonade Wars Series while sipping a cold glass of lemonade. Either way, this fun series about some young entrepreneurs is sure to entertain.
Raised by wolves, the Incorrigible Children are a handful for their young governess, Miss Penelope Lumley, but she is determined to teach them Latin and turn them into properly respectable children. This hilarious Victorian mystery series is so much fun.
Ada Lace is a newer series for young readers, featuring 8 year old Ada, who uses her love of science and technology to solve problems and mysteries in her neighborhood. Ada’s dad is an art teacher who encourages Ada’s independence while keeping her grounded.
