Of course, again, no parents per se.

I'm thinking of Anne of the Green Gables and Black Beauty... they learned to dram and imagine the happy ever after they wanted, then there were still some classics Mums :guilty: made them read and then computers, cell phones, a technological age came along and somehow their interests changed... When Happy Potter and Twilight came parents were already fretting of all this technology and applaud their interest and somehow book became cool again.<br /><br />Can't help. Sorry. We had a series called "Os Cinco" by Enid Blyton which was a big success between Portuguese teens before Apple ;)<br /><br />Good Luck!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15706070037835903316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-22884511077861398312012-08-20T21:37:58.061-07:002012-08-20T21:37:58.061-07:00Im thinking of the Sweet Valley Twins- when the tw...Im thinking of the Sweet Valley Twins- when the twins were in middle school (before Sweet Valley High) <br />I think this was set in the 1980s but there are tons of books in the seriesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-43505009246536371152012-08-20T21:14:46.274-07:002012-08-20T21:14:46.274-07:00Oh, I loved a Wrinkle in Time.

I thought that she was much more realistic than Nancy Drew. :)<br /><br />What about the Madeline L'Engle books about the Austins? I know there are several (Meet the Austins is the first I believe).

Who's the author and what level are the stories? I've got a 3rd grader in mind who loves to read. Would the stories work for her?<br /><br />Beverly Cleary is in her 90s? I loved the Ramona books. Weren't they written in the 1970s? Not sure, but I thought that was around the time period.<br /><br />I loved Nancy Drew...older, of course. Written when? 1940s maybe? They do have an updated series for younger girls now.<br /><br />There's an author in my town: Carole Marsh. She has a darling series based on her grandchildren's travels. Carole has built a large publishing company with her books and sells to Scholastic and other school-based groups. The grandchildren travel with their parents and Carole, grandma, often goes too. She fills the stories with lots of great facts around the various spots they visit...Hawaii, Disney Land, Washington DC, Japan, Europe, and lots more.<br /><br />Carole's publishing house is Gallopade. Here's the URL: <br />http://www.gallopade.com/client/client_pages/carolemarshmysteries2.html<br /><br />I understand that her books are well loved by kids and the teachers love them too.Debby Giustihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463321611980242375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-87353194271233257562012-08-20T09:48:02.089-07:002012-08-20T09:48:02.089-07:00My daughter got into anything to do with horses.

She also liked the Trailblazer books, but those aren't a continuing type series.
