I feel as if I lost a friend. These books helped a socially inept me enough as a child that I have bought them for my grandchildren and for a local charity that works will ill children. They are great and wholesome books for children, and well suited to reading a chapter a day to younger children. Her illustrations were wonderful and remarkably consistent throughout the series.

I read every one of those books in the early 1970s as a young child. I would check them out from the library during the summer of 1971 along with Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. All published by the Stratemeyer Syndicate.

Hard to believe but at the time, all these books were controversial and banned from some libraries because they were not considered literature that children should be reading. In fact, they were considered "unworthy trash" if you can believe.
