Fandom Name: The Mysterious Benedict Society - Trenton Lee Stewart Genre(s): middle grade Anything Else: Four children - all exceptionally bright and all alone - must take on a dangerous mission from Mr. Benedict to stop his evil twin, Mr. Curtain, and, in the process of doing so, find themselves not so alone after all. This is a trilogy (The Mysterious Benedict Society,The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey, The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma) with two spin-off novels (The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Riddle of Ages, which is the main characters about a decade later, and The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict, which is about their mentor figure as a child).
Fandom Name: 39 Clues - Various Authors Genre(s): Middle Grade/maybe a bit YA, Action Anything Else: Dan and Amy embark on a dangerous Clue Hunt and learn about world history and truths about their family along the way. This one consists of four series (two and a half of which I've read) and many spin-off books. All of the books are very short, though.
Fandom Name: Honor Harrington - David Weber Genre(s): sci-fi, milspec Anything Else: Starts out as Horatio Hornblower IN SPAAACE, more or less, before spinning off into its own thing. Lots of infodumping, lots of space battles.
