Comments
Maria, I can attest to the benefits of reading series books. My son who just finished his freshman year of college tore through several series: Anamorphs, Write your Own Adventure, and Hardy Boys when he was younger. It was what interested him at the time and kept him reading. Now he is an English and Writing Major and reading all kinds of "high" literature, not just for school but on his own time as well.
