I noticed you via callmemadam's blog and see we have lots of authors in common! It is sad - especially when libraries could purchase reasonably priced copies from GGBP, but our library at least doesn't, and I suppose that means they wouldn't appeal nowadays to the 9-13 year old? My daugher loved them and read them avidly, but she had the Blyton, Brent-Dyer, Oxenham first to lead her along so to speak. I must say I am enjoying the Lucy Mangan series quite a bit.
