A #1 series
"My daughter is a very mature reader but she loves this series. She reads a book in about 20-30 minutes but she laughs hysterically the entire time. She then re reads all of the books multiple times. She has the entire series. Since she loves them so much she is always sharing scenes with her brothers which has also turned on a love for the series in them! They’ve made for a great summer of kids keeping up their reading skills in this house."
— Mom 3. (5/5)
