[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Kids like repetitive books. [/b] I remember Goosebumps and the My Teacher Is An Alien and Babysitter Little Sister and American Girl books being obsessively read in my elementary school.  Get them hooked on stuff you like, but if you can find something with a long slightly repetitive series you’ll have better luck displacing the magic treehouses of the world.[/quote]

I distinctly remember the age where I realized all the Redwall books I adored were actually virtually identical books. I try to read my kid Good Books, but I also don't begrudge her her crap. Older generations had their formulaic Hardy Boys and Happy Hollisters and this generation has Dogman. Most adults don't read only great literature either.[/quote]

+1. I remember reading Happy Hollisters as a kid and loving it (I'm not actually that old, we found it in some used bookstore somewhere). My mom gave it to me and I looked through it again and was pretty horrified. The kids were so mean! It was so poorly written![/quote]

I read all my dads Happy Hollisters as a young kid- I don’t remember them being mean at all! (This is to say- it’s weird what you remember because I’m sure you’re right that they aren’t great).  I’ve been sad by how much fat shaming an namecalling are in all of the Roald Dahl books[/quote]
