My dear friend Allison Rushby<\/a>, the third Musketeer on Team Your Kid’s Next Read<\/a>, has a new book out this week \u2013 her eighth (or is it ninth?) in the past 12 months.<\/p>\n

\"Best<\/a>The third book in her Miss<\/a> Penny Dreadful trilogy<\/a> for lower middle-grade readers, it’s called The Mermaid’s Locks<\/a> and concludes this engaging historical mystery series.<\/p>\n

Sitting, as it does, right in the sweet spot for young readers who have outgrown heavily illustrated junior fiction but still need some<\/em> pictures, accessible language, fewer words than a traditional middle-grade book, and a clever mystery to solve, the biggest puzzle for my podcast<\/a> co-host Megan Daley<\/a> and I about this series is why it isn’t… bigger.<\/p>\n

It got me to thinking about underrated book series for children and YA readers.<\/p>\n

Those series that are well-written, exciting and absolutely beloved by those who read them, but which, for whatever reason, don’t make the big splash that’s required to stand out on shelves crowded with celebrity books, ‘look at me’ titles and publisher favourites.<\/p>\n

And I’ve decided to shine a spotlight on a few of them, but asking the Your Kid’s Next Read community<\/a> to share their favourite underrated series \u2013 these are the books, in no particular order, that our members recommend over and over and press into the hands of young readers whenever they can.*<\/p>\n

Here’s hoping some of them might resonate with your<\/em> young readers!<\/p>\n
