What Series Do We Have? These are the series that we have in the Middle School Lounge. This list also identifies which books are in the Elizabeth Library and Griffith Library to make it easier to send students. Here is how that information is displayed on the boxes for the books (link). ​ ​ Right now, the series in the MS Lounge are mainly Mystery, Horror, and Fantasy. What Should We Buy? Often, we have one or more books but not the whole series. I have made this list to help figure out (when it’s that time of year for purchasing novels) which ones we might want to order / find at a bookstore to complete a given series and get the most bang for our buck. What Should We Buy in the Future? We haven’t started to tackle the Realistic Fiction, Historical Fiction, Non-Fiction, or Graphic Novel series in the same way. That would be a good next step for the future. What Do You Need to Know? 1. Scratched = Copy that we are missing. ​ 2. * = Copy in Elementary School Library 3. ^ = Copy in the High School Library Feel free to add / comment / do whatever you need in here! Mystery SERIES Series Author Purchasing Priority 39 Clues: The Clue Hunt Gordon Korman Finished! We have only one #1 The Maze of Bones * copy of the first, so we could #2 One False Note use some more. It’s tough #3 The Sword Thief * when several students want #4 Beyond the Grave * to start a series at the same #5 The Black Circle ** time. #6 In Too Deep * #7 The Viper’s Nest * #8 The Emperor’s Code * #9 Storm Warning * #10 Into the Gauntlet * #11 Vespers Rising The 39 Clues: Cahills vs. Vespers Various Authors Low Priority - Since we have #1 The Medusa Plot the first three of the series, I #2 A King’s Ransom think this is enough for the #3 The Dead of Night kids to read through the #4 Shatterproof series. #5 Trust No One #6 Day of Doom 39 Clues: Unstoppable Gordon Korman Low Priority - This series is #1 Nowhere to Run lower priority than Cahills #2 Breakaway vs. Vespers.. #3 Countdown #4 Flashpoint Alex Rider Anthony Horowitz Finished! This spy series #1 Stormbreaker ^** seems to be a good fit for #2 Point Blanc ^** students who are looking for #3 Skeleton Key ^** action, adventure, and #4 Eagle Strike ^*** gadgets. The Elizabeth is #5 Scorpia ^*** also well stocked #6 Ark Angel ^*** #7 Snakehead ^ #8 Crocodile Tears ** #9 Scorpia Rising #10 Russian Roulette Daniel X James Patterson Low Priority - I think that this #1 The Dangerous Days of Daniel X is a finished series, but we #2 Watch the Skies need to double check. #3 Demons and Druids Some of the copies were old #4 Game-Over and in bad shape, so they #5 Armageddon might be in the Free Library #6 Lights Out Box instead of in the MS Lounge.. The Joshua Files M.G. Harris High Priority - We are close #1 Invisible City * to completing this series. ​ #2 Ice Shock Just the first one! #3 Zero Moment #4 Dark Parallel #5 Apocalypse Moon Lemony Snicket Daniel Handler Low Priority - This is a big #1 The Bad Beginning ^* series with a lot of titles, but #2 The Reptile Room ^* it was all the rage at one ​ #3 The Wide Window ^** point, and with a new ​ #4 The Miserable Mill * big-budget Netflix series ​ #5 The Austere Academy * coming out soon, it would ​ #6 The Ersatz Elevator ** be great to have the full set. ​ #7 The Vile Village ** Still, it would be a lot to ​ #8 The Hostile Hospital ** order, so I am marking it a ​ #9 The Carnivorous Carnival ^* low priority. ​ #10 The Slippery Slope ^* ​ #11 The Grim Grotto ** ​ #12 The Penultimate Peril ** ​ #13 The End ** ​ Lemony Snicket: All The Wrong Questions Low Priority - We have the #1 Who Could That Be at This Hour? first book of this additional #2 When Did You See Her Last? series, so it would be much #3 Shouldn’t You Be In School? ^ easier to complete this ​ #4 Why Is This Night Different from All Others? series than the original. Maximum Ride James Patterson Medium Priority - I am not #1 The Angel Experiment sure which of these are in #2 School’s Out Forever the MS Lounge and which #3 Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports of these are in the Free #4 The Final Warning Library Box. They were #5 Max older copies. I THINK we #6 Fang books 1 through 6 of this #7 Angel series. If that’s true, then we #8 Nevermore have enough of the series. #9 Maximum Ride Forever We should double check though, because we might be missing some of them. Poison Apple Various Authors Low Priority - We are #1 The Dead End missing only one book! #2 This Totally Bites! However, since it is the last, #3 Miss Fortune there is no need to rush in #4 Now You See Me getting it. This is a big #5 Midnight Howl series, and it seems #6 Her Evil Twin targeted for younger girls. I #7 Curiosity Killed the Cat question whether it should #8 At First Bite be classified as Fantasy or #9 The Ghoul Next Door Horror, but it is getting read #10 The Ghost of Christmas Past often by students under #11 The Green-Eyed Monster Mystery, so I think it’s a #12 Dead in the Water good fit. ​ Robert Langdon Dan Brown Low Priority - I think that #1 Angels & Demons each book can stand on its own, and since The Da #2 The Da Vinci Code ​ Vinci Code and Inferno can #3 The Lost Symbol ​ ​ ​ #4 Inferno stand on their own, but that #5 Origin is my guess. I have also never physically seen these, so I don’t know if we truly have them. The Roman Mysteries Caroline Lawrence Low Priority - We have two #1 The Thieves of Ostia * titles but both are class sets #2 The Secrets of Vesuvius * (nearly 75 books all ​ #3 The Pirates of Pompeii * together), so someone ​ #4 The Assassins of Rome * thought highly of the series ​ #5 The Dolphins of Laurentum * and wanted to invest in it. I ​ #6 The Twelve Tasks of Flavia Gemina * don’t think the series has to ​ #7 The Enemies of Jupiter * be read in order, so it would ​ #8 The Gladiators from Capua * be nice to pick and choose ​ ​ #9 The Colossus of Rhodes * only a few titles that fit ​ #10 The Fugitive from Corinth * nicely within the curriculum ​ #11 The Sirens of Surrentum * for MS Social Studies but ​ #12 The Charioteer of Delphi * not worry about completing ​ #13 The Slave-girl from Jerusalem the series. Also, I am not #14 The Beggar of Volubilis * sure if this should be ​ #15 The Scribes from Alexandria* considered Mystery or #16 The Prophet from Ephesus * Historical Fiction. ​ #17 The Man from Pomegranate Street Secret Series Pseudonymous Bosch Finished! It would be nice to #1 The Name of this Book is Secret order a few more of the first #2 If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late book though. Students are #3 This Book is Not Good for You interested but not able to #4 This Isn’t What It Looks Like begin. #5 You Have to Stop This Ulysses Moore Ulysses Moore Low Priority - This is a #1 The Door to Time longer series, but it looks #2 The Long Lost Map like only the first four books #3 The House of Mirrors are in English. Since we #4 The Isle of Masks have the first two, it might be nice to do all four. HORROR SERIES Book Author Purchasing Priority Castor Chronicles Kami Garcia Finished! #1 Beautiful Creatures #2 Beautiful Darkness #3 Beautiful Chaos #4 Beautiful Redemption Chronicles of Ancient Darkness Michelle Paver High Priority - We are close #1 Wolf Brother to finishing this series. We #2 Spirit Walker also need to get the fourth book to fill that gap. #3 Soul Eater #4 Outcast #5 Oath Breaker #6 Ghost Hunter Chronicles of Nick Sherrilyn Kenyon Low Priority - I think that #1 Infinity this series could be in the #2 Invincible Free Library Box. We have the the fifth and sixth books #3 Infamous but not the first four. We #4 Inferno should either get the first #5 Illusion four or just take the series #6 Instinct out of the MS Lounge. #7 Invision #8 Intensity The City Trilogy Darren Shan Finished! #1 Possession of the Dead #2 Hell’s Horizon #3 City of the Snakes The Demonata Darren Shan High Priority - We have the third and fifth books of this #1 Lord Loss series but not the others. I #2 Demon Thief would like to fill the gaps in #3 Slawter the series. #4 Dec #5 Blood Beast #6 Demon Apocalypse #7 Death’s Shadow #8 Wolf Island #9 Dark Calling #10 Hell’s Heroes Department of Unclassified Artefacts Justin Richards Low Priority - This does #1 The Death Collector well in the “Starter Pack” #2 The Parliament of Blood but is an achievable series since there are only three #3 The Chamber of Shadows books. The Demon’s Lexicon Sarah Rees Brennan Medium Priority - We have #1 The Demon’s Lexicon the second of this series #2 The Demon’s Covenant but not the first. This fits in the “Starter Pack” but not #3 The Demon’s Surrender well. We should get the first. Goosebumps R.L. Stine Low Priority - There are 49 #5 The Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb copies in the Griffith, so I #60 Werewolf Skin think it’s better to direct the All the others.
