Before there was "Twilight," "Percy Jackson and the Olympians," "The Hunger Games," "The Raven Cycle" and "Divergent," there were books series that nearly every '90s kid was reading during elementary and middle school. And if you didn't read them yourself, you most certainly knew (or knew of) someone else who did.

1. "Harry Potter" series by J.K. Rowling

How could the book series that both consumed and defined this generation not be at the top of this list? Literally everyone you know has read 'Harry Potter" –– or at very least seen the movies. Everyone.

2. "A Series of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket

So, uh, reading about the misfortunes of orphans was somewhat of a trend back in the day? Maybe? You likely picked up this series because your school librarian recommended it to you while you were waiting for the next Harry Potter book, and it turned out to be amazing. Seriously, amazing.

3. "Magic Treehouse" Series by Mary Pope Osborne

Has anyone actually read this series in its entirety or did teachers just come in and read only the first chapter of each book to the class every time they didn't have a lesson plan?

4. "The Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis

A solid half of us have only read "The Lion," "The Witch" and "The Wardrobe" from this series because no one understood what "chronicles" meant at the time, the movies weren't out yet and the school library didn't carry all of the books. There are apparently seven.

5. "Junie B. Jones" by Barbara Park

This was comedy gold in elementary school –– hell, your parents even thought it was hysterical when they read it aloud to you before bed. You read and reread those books so many times that you used to have Junie B. Jones' spiel about her name memorized.

6. "Captain Underpants" by Dav Pilkey

Looking back, the premise of this series is so weird, but it gave you a lot of laughs.

7. "Goosebumps" by R.L. Stine

I think we can all agree that these were absolutely terrifying.

8. "Amelia Bedelia" by Peggy and Herman Parish

Even if you have no memory of the exact content of this series, you know for a fact that they were delightful.

9. "Fudge series" by Judy Blume

If you were in elementary school in 2002, it's likely that you remember the release of the final book "Double Fudge," which was read aloud to the class during story time. And when your teacher got to the last page, you all begged them to read it again.

10. "Animorphs" series by K.A. Applegate

The covers of these were always fun to look at.

11. "Dear America" series by Various Authors

Sold at every book fair. Every. Book. Fair.
