I agree about the series idea, and about Despereaux - lovely and funny.
When I was a kid, the series thing wasn't as entrenched - except for Hardy boys, Nancy Drew, Little House and 'Shoes if I remember. So I created my own series by finding an author I liked and reading everything I could get my hands on by that same author. I still do.
