Stand-alone novels

On her FAQ page, Karen McCombie says, "Doing a quick count-up now (summer 2015) I've just realised I've written 82 books. Phew! A couple of these aren't in the shops yet, and some are out-of-print and only available in libraries, or on Amazon as second-hand copies. But for all my in-print books, go to the Books page on this site."

Her Novels page lists some books that are not in this article, plus there’s Catching Falling Stars, Honey and Me, and the upcoming The Whispers of Wilderwood Hall. I haven’t added these novels to the article because I don’t know if there’s a particular order they should be in. For example, amazon.co.uk says Candy Girl, The Girl with the Sunshine Smile, Honey and Me, Running from the Rainbow, and Sweetness and Lies are all "[p]articularly suitable for reluctant, struggling and dyslexic readers". And I’m not sure if all of the books on the Novels page can be called "stand-alone novels", if three of them form a trilogy and The Raspberry Rules is related to Ally’s World. --Kletta (talk) 15:42, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think that Karen McCombie has more than twelve stand-alone novels, but Little Bird Flies isn't one of them: it's called the first in a new series, and I think the upcoming Little Bird Lands is its sequel. --Kletta (talk) 20:00, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
