The It Girl vs The Mediator
Two young adult literature series side by side, straight from the catalog data: The It Girl is the longer series (9 books vs 7 books); The It Girl is the more recent one, starting in 2005. There's no wrong answer — pick the shape that fits your reading appetite, and Shelfmark will keep your place in either (no account needed).
