will I ever catch up with the sheer volume of messages here?

I doubt it.

:-)

Anyway, I long ago lost track of how many books are in this series,
but here is another children's mystery/fantasy author.

John Bellairs.

The books feature three different children who find themselves involved
in scary mysteries along with witches, warlocks, sorcerors, voodoo,
monsters, you name it.

The protagists are Rose Rita, Lewis Barnavelt (Rose and Lewis are the
only two who have overlapping books. They are best friends), Johnny
Dixon and Anthony Monday.

Some titles are The House with A Clock in Its Walls, The Figure in The
Shadows, The Spell of The Soceror's Skull and The Letter, The Witch and
The Ring.

I would not recommend the later, collaborative books, but the earlier
are quite excellent, well-written and scary.
