Judy Moody Series by Megan McDonald and The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes Series by Anne Mazer
"The two series that really shaped me into a bookworm were probably the Judy Moody series ($46) and The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes series ($3). My grandmother bought them for me and she would read them with me until I got hooked and started to read them all. I remember I would make any family members or friends who were coming from America to India to get me a copy the latest editions to the series because they would always release a year later in India. My friends also liked these books and we would trade them with each other and the books would circulate through my friend group." — Zara Patel, editorial intern
