Sometimes all you have to say is that a series has been translated into 9 other languages and that there are more than 36 books that have been published --not counting special editions.
The SECRETS OF DROON is a boy-friendly, kid-friendly series. And I can tell you that these volumes are good Read-alouds.

1.
THE HIDDEN STAIRS AND THE MAGIC CARPET
This
is where it all starts... with Eric, Julie, and Neal, who are best
friends that pretty much do every together. Which is how they end up
down in Eric's basement when his parents give him the task of cleaning
up.
At first it's what you
would expect, dusting work involving sorting through boxes. But then a
ball goes astray and they end up discovering a tiny crawlspace under
the stairs. This leads them to another set of stairs, these
rainbow-colored, that lead them to the magical world of Droon.
Once there, they are wrapped up in an adventure that takes them to meet princesses, wizards and wondrous creatures.
