A kids'/YA book series by Zilpha Keatley Snyder, three-time Newbery Honor winner, and author of ''[[Below the Root]]''. ''[[The Stanley FAmily]]'' series focuses on an eccentric family and the various mysteries they encounter. That's really the only connection between the four books in the series, as each book is practically in a different genre than the others.

Each book involves a different mystery or adventure, but the theme of the mystery/adventure is different from book to book, ranging from supernatural occurrences to a neighborhood theft.

Line 24:

What each story has in common is a mixture of everyday home life, personality, character humor, fun, and suspense. The characters actually change and grow over the course of the series, taking on new traits or even changing their interests as they develop new ones.
