The Cul-de-sac Kids is a twenty-four-book children’s series by Beverly Lewis, published from 1993 to 2001. The books follow a group of neighborhood children who get involved in small-scale mysteries and adventures in their cul-de-sac. Titles like The Double Dabble Surprise, The Chicken Pox Panic, and Pickle Pizza give a sense of the lighthearted, playful tone of the series.
The books are early chapter books designed for young readers who are ready to move beyond picture books but not yet ready for full-length novels. Lewis brings the same warmth to these children’s stories that she does to her adult fiction, with gentle humor and positive messages about friendship and community.
