Abigail Pankau (agatheathena) | 1250 comments Hi! This is a series that I've had this argument about before, and it was decided before that it should remain a series. They are all books by the same author and the "shared universe" is that they are all historical events that the author explores in the same way. She dispels myths & misinformation that is common about those events, while sharing the true history of those events. It is the same narrative voice used in each. They all have "History Smashers" as the beginning of their titles & are considered a series by the publisher.

This is a History series that is much like the "Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales" series - /series/2813...

Camille D. | 1843 comments I have searched and can't find any previous posts where it was decided that this collection of titles should remain a series.

Abigail Pankau (agatheathena) | 1250 comments I know they recently purged a bunch of old posts. Maybe that included the post where it was decided previously...?

But the list has existed for a bit, and I found an old post where I had the last book added to the series --> /topic/show/...

So the series has existed for a while. And it's like other kids book series about history like the Nathan Hale Hazardous Tales series (/series/2813...) or the I Survived series (/series/7022...)

I don't think it is a series either - there are lots of non series on this site.

The moderator is back now - you can ask a question in the questions folder if you want to get a staff ruling. Put Attn Jaclyn.

Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 1936 comments I don't think I Survived is a series by Gr standards either. It has a common theme of a 10 y o main character. but it is a different one each time.

The Nathan Hale probably isn't but I would need more time to go through.

Abigail Pankau (agatheathena) | 1250 comments Thanks, Carol! I will post there and get a final decision from the moderator.

Thanks, everyone, for your input!
