Wow, that was a lot.. I didn't know that.. Thanks..

I didn't know there was a ghost writer then.

Drunk On You

I believe a lot of books aimed at a younger audience that has a long series had ghost writers towards the end.

^ Yeah, I remembered that one since there was another series have ghost writers..

That makes me sad.
Like it doesn't feel authentic.
And the poor ghost writer gets no recognition.

I could be wrong but I think Sweet Valley High had ghost writers too.



I feel like that would be a hard job. You have to match the original author's writing style.

^ And I think Goosebumps since there was rumors about that one too.. Not sure..

BehrItAll

Totally.

I wonder what the process is like to find one. Maybe they start with a ghost writer that already has a similar writing style.

I was obsessed with the Animorphs books too. I think they had ghostwriters later in the series. And the Boxcar Children books.



I never noticed any difference in the books but then again that could be because I was young. Although I think I only read like 3 or 4 Boxcar Children books. The first 2 maybe the third one. And then one later in the series. I remember thinking the one later in the series felt differently.

Stay to the Lights

They did, but with the author's guidance. I think they do this in series such as these because the books came out quite frequently, so it was easier to have someone to help write them. But not sure about this series.. did Ann stop writing them full stop after #35?

I remember the Animorphs books and I think not that many who read those..

Drunk On You

Wikipedia just says she wrote the first 35 books.
