Books By Ghostwriter

[starrynight]

I don't know if another list like this is already floating around out there, but I thought it might be neat to see how the series breaks down in terms of who wrote what. I only covered the regular series, Super Specials, Mysteries, Super Mysteries, Friends Forever, and Portrait Collection. Someone else can take care of LS, CD, etc.

Wow! What an awesome list! Thanks so much... it's interesting looking at the books in this order

[zoar3]

Wow! Thank you Starrynight and Booboobrewer for taking the time to compile this list! I'll have to carefully look at them and lol see how that might effect my opinion on certain books.

[sparklymouse]

I wonder why some people only wrote 1 or two books. I also always wondered what was up with the two person books (the Jahnna and Malcolm books). Is writing a short children's chapter book really a tag team effort? They wrote the Bad News Ballet series too.

[starrynight]

I found it interesting that Mary Lou Kennedy, who was responsible for the best selling BSC book of all time (#34) only got one other book after that. Granted, "Dawn and the Older Boy" isn't exactly a work of literature, but you think they'd give her another try.

[greer]

Great job !

Maybe M.L. Kennedy didn't want to write any more?

[Kylie90210]

Also interesting that both her books have 'boy' themes.

[booboobrewer]

I never noticed before how Calmenson and Charbonnet alternated on so many LS books.

Interesting! Where do you find out information like that, about which book was the best selling?

[starrynight]

^ It was in the back of "Graduation Day," I think. I also remember reading it somewhere else....

[msstock87]

Those are some great lists, thank you both for making them. I knew their were ghostwriters, I just don't think I ever realized how many their actually were!

[Deleted]

Awesome lists! I find it interesting how AMM wrote more books herself for the Little Sister series than she did for both BSC and California Diaries combined .

[greer]

Well, I'm sure LS books are a lesser time commitment.
