[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JK specifically said she wrote/published the books in the time she wanted younger kids to read and grow up with them.

Here is a great timeline.  Don't rush thru them. [b]Let your kids mature with the kids in the books[/b].

Exactly!  That is why she is publishing her illustrated books once a year right now.  My 7yr old and I read the first one together and she had a ton of questions as we went thru it.  There is no way a 5-8yr old could even understand the depth of these books, especially as they move forward and the writing gets darker and more advanced.  I think most kids read them young to say they have actually read them.  It is a cool thing to read.  Just like when 2-3rd graders are reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid.  They have absolutely no idea what it is like to be in middle school and the issues with girls, puberty, etc... most of it goes completely over their head.  But it is a cool thing to read so they skim it and said they read it.  [/quote]
