Lauren Kershner | 4 comments This is a juvenile historical fiction book series that follows the adventures of a family from 1900-2000. There are 10 books in total, one for each decade (1900s, 1910s, etc up until the 1990s). There were many of the same characters in the series, they just aged and or died. It followed the generations so you could see the characters grow older and have children. I read the books somewhere around 2013-2016. I think they were written in the 1990s, but I'm not quite sure. Each cover had things that were important in the decade they took place, along with some of the characters. They were fairly simple overall and definitely meant for younger readers. Thank you so much!

Lauren, what's the location (country, region, well-known city, small town)?

Can you tell us more about the plot, challenges, main characters' jobs, etc.?

Lauren Kershner | 4 comments I want to say it was in the United States in a wealthy family. I think that it was in a small town as well. I remember the first book (1900s) definitely included servants. Each book also covered the major events of the decade. The first/second books often covered the creation of cars and then becoming more common in the general public. The main character's uncle was rich enough to have a car. The main characters of each book was focused on a child typically along with their interactions with the rest of the family. I'm sorry if this isn't enough information, I'll add anything else if I remember it. I figure it's worth a shot :)

Better to Wish is the first one.

Are the years or decade in each book title?

Lauren Kershner | 4 comments I’m fairly sure the decade is in the title. If it is not in the title it is definitely on the cover.

Lauren, please post a new comment if you're still looking for this book - or if you found it.
