2018 Notable Junior Series
This year I have read so many Junior series but have been unable to share them all. Here are four series that are funny, silly and sometimes a little gross.

"We are all different , as different as can be...But now look closer" and just like that I was engaged from start to finish, the author had captured my attention and imagination from the first page.
