One of my mom's passions was her collection of Judy Bolton novels. She had collected them as a young girl, but at some point her mother gave them all away to one of her cousins. As an adult, she carried a list of all the novels in the series with her at all times, so that if she found one in a used book store or at a flea market, she'd know if it was on she was still missing. I was never a big Judy Bolton fan myself—I was a Three Investigators boy all the way—but they were pretty good. One thing I liked about them, though, was that she actually aged as the series progressed, which is fairly unusual for a series that ran as long as hers did (34 years).
