Children's books series with new books I never heard of

Well that has got to bet he stupidest post subject ever. Even I don't know what it means and I wrote it.

Anyways what I'm trying to talk about is about what a bookworm I was as a kid (well still am, really). I think at some point I felt like I'd read every kid's book in the library - not the 10 page picture books, but any substantially big children's book > 100 pages.

I had a lot of favourite series - Ramona, Babysitters Club, Narnia, etc. There are more but I forget.

Through the wonder of wikipedia and the fact that I sometimes get bored at work I was reading up on some of my old favourites, and turns out, some of the offers churned out new books in the series well after I stopped reading children's books:

- Ramona's World (1999): Ramona turns 10!
- The Mystery of the Cupboard (1992) and The Key to the Indian (1998): sequels to The Indian in the Cupboard which I loved.

I bought Ramona's World cheap off Amazon and read it within like... 2 hours but I am not sure I will buy the unread sequels to the Indian in the Cupboard... I guess I'm too old for them now. But I wish they'd be written when I could still enjoy them!
