Yes—Flossie and Freddie, the six year old twins, and Nan and Bert, who were (I think) twelve. And definitely mysteries.
Then the Happy Hollisters were five non-twin kids. My mother pointed out to me the similarities of the two series, especially the relegation of Mrs. Bobbsey and Mrs. Hollister to housewife roles while their husbands won the bread.
Carolyn Keene was a series of ghostwriters, some of whom also wrote in the Bobbsey Twins, Hardy Boys, and Dana Girl series.

I remember there’s one where Mary Poppins goes to the moon.
