The Lion and the Unicorn, an international theme- and genre-centered journal committed to serious, ongoing discussion of children’s literature, referenced Carolyn Carpan’s book Sisters, Schoolgirls, and Sleuths: Girls’ Series Books in America in its most recent volume. Four “series books” including Carpan’s were highlighted as offering “ much new information and analysis about this overlooked area of scholarship and the many mysteries that surround it.” Carpan is the director of public service in the Burke Library.
