FORM #9: Series Books

What About it?

Have you ever read a book that was so good you felt disappointed when you were finished because you wanted to know what would happen next to the characters? That is why authors write sequels. When a sequel to a sequel is written, it makes a trilogy. If the author writes a fourth related book, it becomes a series. All the books in a series will have some unifying element, such as characters or theme. Series also exist among nonfiction books, such as the biographies published by Crowell. Some series are delightful and of high literary quality, among them J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series and Barbara Park’s Junie B. Jones series. Some series, however, are written according to a formula, and they vary only slightly from one book to the next.

How to know if it's a Series Book?

A series is an ongoing story told throughout more than one book. A series that has 2 books is just a books with a sequel; with 3 books it is called a trilogy; with 4 books it is called a saga or sometimes a cycle; and beyond that it is just called a series. All of the books in the series are written by the same author.
