My Weird School
I kinda doubt children's literature is your specialty, but given how many books are in the series, it seems strange it wouldn't be notable. Do you know of any literary reviews of the topic? Thanks!

- @78.26: a lot of children's book reviews are paywalled. I know that series is hugely popular at my own library (before COVID!) and I'll see what I can find. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 16:48, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

- No, thank you for bringing it to my attention, 78.26! It blows my mind that this article would be nominated for deletion. The series is so popular I often have to order several copies of each title and I'm always having to replace worn out copies. It's managed to stay relevant over the years, too. That's not true of all children's book series. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 18:22, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

- (talk page stalker) I suspect this may be because the stereotypical Wikipedian does not have kids who are at school age, and whose trips to the library don't go towards the children's section. I haven't heard of the series myself, and at the moment the last book I remember my eldest reading was a programming guide for the Raspberry Pi, but maybe it wasn't issued over this side of "the pond".

- @Ritchie333: I think there's UK versions, but it might have missed your kids. It's aimed at primary school kids. My kiddos missed it, too. I only really know about it because of the popularity at my library. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:20, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
