I am looking for a fantasy children’s chapter book episodic series to read with my nine year old. We would likely take turns reading chapters. I love the 1970s and 1980s paperback high fantasy aesthetic so would be thrilled to find something from that era and genre suitable for kids.
By episodic series I mean each book is a standalone story but the protagonist remains consistent throughout the book series.
Magic Tree House is a good example, although we’ve read those and I’d love to find something a bit deeper.
No hard requirements on book word count but some thing within 5-15k per book seems good.
Although not required, I’d love if there were many books in the series — perhaps dozens — so we could really hunker down with the series.

Possible good choices might be The Dark Is Rising series by Susan Cooper, a few were Newbery Honors books, and also Lloyd Alexander The Chronicles of Prydain series whose final book was a Newbery Winner.
