SERIES. So not just one.

The Plant That Ate Dirty Socks, Little House On A Prairie, Bunnicula/Howliday Inn, Sideways Stories From Wayside School, Animorphs, Black Beauty, The Giver series, Uglies, and Ramona Quimby.

Sideways Stories From Wayside School was my shit. I think I wrote fanfic for it before I knew what fanfic was. :D

I remember being really into the Uglies series, but something happened in the last (I think it was the last) book that really pissed me off and I dropped it like a hot potato.

I loved the heck out of the Ramona books, even though I was more like Beezus tbh.

I loved the Beverly Cleary books!

Animorphs - K.A. Applegate
The Baby-Sitters' Club - Ann M. Martin
Magic Tree House - Mary Pope Osbourne
Junie B. Jones - Barbara Park
Harry Potter - J.K. Rowling
Goosebumps - R.L. Stine
Fear Street - R.L. Stine
The Boxcar Chldren - Gertrude Chandler Warner

Some series about a kid named Zack who kept having weird things happen to him. I can't find it online because googling "Zack series" brings up some other, newer series called "Galaxy Zack" and "Zack series 90s" brings up Saved by the Bell.

Oh, just remembered:

Amber Brown - Paula Danziger
Bunnicula - James Howe
Captain Underpants - Dav Pilkey
Interview with the Vampire and a few of the sequels (as a young teenager) - Anne Rice

The Giver, sort of. I read the first one as a kid and the three following books (Gathering Blue, Messenger, and Son) as an adult. I didn't know it even had a sequel as a kid.

And THIS was the Zack series: The Zack Files, by Dan Greenberg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Zack_Files

they had us read the Boxcar Children in school but I couldn't relate to them.

Laura Ingalls. Little Women/Little Men/Jo's Boys. Anne of Green Gables. Narnia. Summer Pony/Winter Pony....um....
*cough*
Gor. (I was...twelve? thirteen? My brother had them.)

I read the Narnia books as a kid

The Boxcar Children, Nancy Drew, Moomintroll books, My Teacher is an Alien books by Bruce Coville, Narnia, Deltora Quest, Animorphs, Wild at Heart, Goosebumps, Bailey School Kids.

Also the American Girl Doll books

GooseBumps.
Ringworld.
Black Beauty.
Animal Ark.
His Dark Materials.
Sheltie.
Discworld.
The many Drizzt Do'urden books.
The Night's Dawn trilogy.
The Wars of Light and Shadow.
The Jaquelin Wilson books.

And a sci-fi trilogy that I cannot remember the name of, but gave me Feelings once I was done with it.

<33 Goosebumps

Until this moment I had forgotten how much I read and reread the wars of light and shadow

The Guests Of War trilogy by Kit Pearson

Animorphs
Remnants (K. A. Applegate's darker, much less popular series)

Sweet Valley Twins
Sweet Valley Junior Year
Sweet Valley Senior Year

A few of the Goosebumps novels, if those count as a series.

A lot of the ones already mentioned + The Boys Start the War/The Girls Get Even by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor and Redwall by Brian Jacques.

Redwall
Goosebumps
Nancy Drew
Dear America
American Girl
Mostly Ghostly
The Royal Diaries
Sweet Valley High
The Princess Diaries
The Babysitters Club
The Old Kingdom Series
The Giver Quartet, but it was a trilogy when I was a kid. The final book came out when I graduated college.

The Babysitters Club and Sweet Valley High.

Three Investigators
Nancy Drew
Sagan om Isfolket ( The Icefolk Saga) even though that one's not really for kids.

The Babysitters Club
Sweet Valley Twins
Girl Talk
The Saddle Club
Pony Pals
Goosebumps
Anne of Green Gables
American Girl
Dear America
Diary SOS
Replica
Animorphs
This dumb horror/mystery series about the Dangers of the Internet that I forgot the name of

And others. As you can see, I overdosed on books about groups of female friends doing "girl things," so I'm never able to relate to women in fandom who think we should be reading and writing fics about female characters because surely we must be sick of being forced to read only about boys when we were children.

Really early on, The Berenstain Bears by Stan and Jan Berenstain, Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans

Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
Charlie series by Roald Dahl (Chocolate Factory and Great Glass Elevator)
Quite a few of the Ramona series by Beverly Cleary
Some of The Bobbsey Twins by Laura Lee Hope
Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle by Betty MacDonald

Later on, more in the teen range, some of each of the Hardy Boys by Franklin W. Dixon, Nancy Drew by Carolyn Keene, The Girls of Canby Hall by Emily Chase, Sweet Valley High by Francine Pascal, Remember Me by Christopher Pike (and all of Final Friends), Nowhere High by Jesse Maguire, Hart & Soul by Jahnna N. Malcolm

i loved the Charlie and Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books as a kid.
why does the dad Berenstain bear always look like he's making jiffy pop in his hat?
