If you missed this article, because it was published smack dab in the middle of summer....,  you might find it useful as you're placing book orders. The Fiction Series Roundup is for grades 5 and up.

And if you missed this Series Made Simple article with reviews about non-fiction series, it too could be useful as you  create orders, especially in light of the new emphasis on informational literature.

And while we're on the topic of books continuing a story line, this recent SLJ article is about sequels to many very popular award winners in the fiction world. I hope you find these all useful for keeping your readers satiated!!                                         Katie

Did you know that TeachingBooks.net now has a resource page on elementary level Series Books?  From "Artemis Fowl" to "The Zack File" each of the almost 50 entries has a link to an audio introduction by the author and then links to all of the other resources collected by TeachingBooks on the series.  This doesn't necessarily mean a comprehensive list of the series but does include resources  for teachers where titles tie into the curriculum, such as "Afternoon on the Amazon" in the Magic Tree House Series. Many of the series entries have links to webpages  created by the publisher for young readers. Check it out (after logging in ) at TeachingBooks.net in the FNSBSD Online Resources.
