This is the Most Popular Children’s Book Series in Indiana
Did you have a favorite book or book series growing up? What kind of stories were they - fantasy, mystery, sci-fi, comedy, or what? Have you ever wondered which is the most popular? Based on the number of books in the series and the huge box office numbers, it would be safe to assume that Harry Potter is at the top of the list. The "boy who lived" is popular for a lot of readers in America, but that series is NOT the most popular in Indiana.
