Give me some of that 2000s middle school core

these were my favorite. i remember when the last one came out, i got it for christmas, and i stayed up all night to finish it.

great trilogy, though it's not exactly year 2000 (1980s more like)

i read it in middle school in the 2000s, so it was "2000s middle school core" for me

How did this series conclude? I don't think I read past the 4th book.

this was pretty based
the Chad Horace vs the Virgin Will

I remember really liking these. Are they legitimately good or is that my nostalgia talking? I removed it being a good hero’s journey like thing.

This is a long shot debut does any user remember a book from around the years 2006-2008, it was a large book the featured a girl on the front of the book with short blue hair holding a black cat. It wasn’t Coraline. The only part I remember is from the beginning where the girl sees figures in her house, follows one out and ends up on a boat with a skeleton. Read it in high school but I want to find it again and finish it. I think there were two or three books in the series. Here’s a rough idea of the cover.

I don't remember all the details 100%, but Saint Dane creates this dystopia on Third Earth that he's king of. Pendragon somehow defeats him and then lives a normal life with Courtney and they both get old.

As a kid, I interpreted each book cover as a PS2 game's different "chapters" that it would shift through a void that would change color depending on the book.

FUCKKKKK I REMEMBER

Why did they think having a different author for each book was a good idea?

OKAY fablehaven was goated absolutely loved those books

Pic related was an introduction to postmodern thinking. There was another one from the same series where the girl writes a book and lies to her (single) mom about it. There was also Hatchet which was an elaborate vehicle to introducing 12 year old children to the concept of adultery and lying by omission to your father about your mother's affair.

Books that held up:
>My Story (World War 1 and 2) from Scholastic
>The Thief Lord
>Inkheart series

Others I remember:
>Run (about Terry Fox)
>Spirit Bear (about indigenous "circle justice")
>Island and Everest series (also Scholastic)

Hory shit, I thought I was the only one who read these. I’ve been looking for years, you’re god sent. Thank you so much.

It's never too late, frand.

I only read the first one of the Island series. It was very try-hard and I didn't like how long they took to get into it. Always meant to finish it.

Any of you guys read this? I remember reading the first few chapters as a teaser in another book. We actually had all 3 of them because my mom used to sell Usborne books but I never read it.

They all used some sort of really rough springy paper from what I remember - it was probably designed to be cheap but durable enough for circulation in an elementary school library.

Oh never mind I thought you were replying to another comment. The Stilton books had glossy paper because of the gimmick they used where adjectives were drawn out.

Did literally anyone ever read these books, I thought they were the fucking bomb

I'm glad I could help! :)

I read a dozen of Diana Wynne Jones' books in middle and high school, but they seem relatively unknown in the states. Excellent stories. She also wrote Howl's Moving Castle.

Also this is going to be *even more obscure*, but has anyone else on this planet read this book

Yooo I loved DWJ, I still remember Hexwood was a mindfuck to read

Book was excellent, from what I vaguely remember. They had a *really* weird magical cosmology going on with bells and death and demons and runic stuff.

God this series was amazing. There's a prequel involving Solomon that was pretty excellent.

The sequel series went super downhill, not worse for content but so much padding. But the OG series... they're simple, they're clearly for kids, but ngl I reread one of them recently. Just excellent pacing and work in general. Also Percy x Annabeth literally came at a time when I was hitting puberty and made me realize that girls are actually kinda neat

It was fun watching the long crippled demon friend he made just hijack the plot out of nowhere because he was bored and then mock the villain for his suicidal overconfidence for picking a fight with goddamn demons from hell

Got too much into the ww2 allegory near the end
I liked the slice of life moments

>tfw there is literally fucking nothing keeping Gregor from going back after Luxa when things settle down

They got their happy ending. I don't care what the plot says

fuck prophecies, fuck destiny and fuck sandwiches

Oh damn, I loved this series as a kid.
Shame about the movie. It was pleasant enough, but it condensed five books into one movie, and really glossed over a lot of the best bits.
What other movies did this, Yea Forums?

I enjoyed the shit out of these as a kid, looking back I see how trash they are.

27 yo boomer here, thanks for reminding me of this. I almost wanna pick up these books again. I used to read all fantasy that my local small library would have and these were an absolute highlight.

MY ETERNAL NIGGER

>inb4 girl books
Fuck off, I liked them anyway and they gave me my first taste of unpleasant drama (dead family members, divorce, etc.). But I did stop reading these when my crush pointed that out.

I thought I was the only one. I can only vaguely remember what it's about because the cover was shit compared to my other books. Some girl and his family moving?

It was some ultimate edgelord stuff, but it was just what my pubescent 13 y/o self needed. Also it got some girls to talk to me

Holy fuck. I forgot about these. Aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi

I did but only the first 3

Is that true? I dont remember those books.

I have one with all the Bohrok on it. The red one.

The Gahoole owl books were the shit for me

The books are about the (((Barons))) limiting all families to 2 children because muh global warming resource shortage, and using this as a power grab to increase their own wealth and power while killing off excess goyim. The protagonist is a forbidden third child who overthrows them to ensure the right of Aryans to procreate freely.

Call me out on my shit taste but Skulduggery Pleasant, Artemis Fowl and ASoIaF where my secondary school go-to reading material. The first two I favoured because of the novelty of reading my native literature, even if it was YA. The latter was my first "adult" book series my uncle gave me, and while I admit my disposition on the series has wavered since then I still remember it fondly enough

How big were these books outside of Ireland? Cirque Du Freak getting a manga adaptation always blows my mind when I think about it

It all sounds the fucking same in the end though because they only knew how to write like three of them and wrote slight variations with different names inserted whenever they spiced it up

Trying to find a book that I read in 2007ish... my memories are really vague but: theres a farmer girl and she daydreams of adventure then for some reason her family kicks her out and she ends up in a dragon cave full of gold n shit and the Dragon is like "you can have one thing" and she's like "can I have this?" (I don't remember what it was) and the Dragon is like "not that!" But she's like " but you said!" And the dragon let's her have it then she travels through a forest and some bandits almost rape her or something. I don't remember anymore. There's a dragon on the cover. I've been looking for it for like 12 years help me out bros :(

I don't think they got any big elsewhere. I'm from Canada and the only reason I ever knew they existed was because my Irish friend lent then to me

Those books blew my mind as a kid.

Comfy read

I had a friend/bully who was really into them. He always had them on him, but then he moved away. Shout out to Colin.

What is it about these books that you all love so much?

Knowing what you tards used to read explains so much

Extremely based

This and The House of the Scorpion were very kino

Pure kino

They also had a movie with John C Reilly and some other famous people in it. I am a brit and they were a bit of a success here. Prominently displayed enough (cover facing you and not the spine, so ya know its good) in the YA or horror section for me to grab something in an airport lounge when I was a kid and finished my book in the taxi ride over. It was book 10, Lake of Souls. Spooky and abstract and otherworldy. Fuckin kino.

Darren dies in the last one and gets ressurected as a zombie minion and then he goes back in time and turns out he was the little zombie minion dude that introduced young Darren to the circus, and he stops the big bad by telling his young self this time to watch out and then somehow conveys all his memories to him in the hopes that young Darren will go on to be best selling irish young adult author Darren Shan. Then zombie darren sits on the roof and as his flesh is still vampire flesh, awaits the rise of the sun to kill himself off knowing he got the better of Desmond Tiny.

My nigga. His other one was great too, whatever the fuck it was called.

Creepypastas and SCPs

I want to write books for kids. How do I ensure the books are successful? How do I avoid the bargain bin or being lumped in with the other thousand writers in this thread? I want to stand out but I don't think I know how. Is it all in story or does it come down to marketing and presentation too?

>asking that kind of question on this anonymous Uzbek goat hair weaving forum
user, I...

We can only guess but it really is all about mileage I reckon. A publisher will push your work if it has legs. If not they won't. Hence the success of such garbage. So presumeably a planned large serious that has enough to feel satisfying after the first book but not so much they don't feel the compulsion to go out and buy the box set. Publishers are like any other business. They love their repeat business. All money making enterprises end up resembling the drug trade in that respect.

Forgive me user, I have no one else to ask.

Do kids even read books anymore? Last I heard from some family, the elementary school I went to got rid of their library and replaced it with an "open study" room or something.

I don't usually browse Yea Forums, but I just saw the Artemis Fowl movie trailer. Jesus Christ, what the fuck.

youtube.com/watch?v=rQnjA3dQ0Sk

There's a thread on Yea Forums about it right now, there's a bit of discussion going on over there too on 2000s middle school core.

well if that's the case I do have something for adults but it's way less involved and I find it way less fun too. I'm sure disney or netflix would take the concept for a series or movie too! I'll be rich, RICH!

Sure, I understand. Just remember we are all half wits and spacks on here. But my advice stands. They want a 5 or 7 or whatever book series out of you, so offer somethong enthralling enough they will get hooked and want more. That is all I can say. You should write like you are making a "tune in next week" soap opera.

That's pretty much the plan! Thanks for the advice dude! Wanna kiss?

I grew up on a small ranch; so of course I named my first dog Hank. A good name for a good pupper.
Had collected the first 10 of these back in elementary school. My niece is reading them now.
