I think every generation has its genre. We had Babysitters Club, Sweet Valley Twins/High, Christoper Pike, RL Stein and VC Andrews.
Not sure what was before that - but it seems to come in waves. RL Stein started writing for younger kids and the older kids turned to what seemed to be sci-fi and fantasy.
Of course, I could be wrong since I work neither in a library nor a bookstore. Just my observations of wandering the youth section of bookstores and seeing what is in your face.
