Ive heard some members here mentioned they felt this series was aimed at YA's. I would agree with that, though I would say it's for Teens not Children.
It must be really hard for parents to pick books for young children that are suitable. One of my pen pals asked me for children fantasy recommendations, because she didnt know which books in that bracket were actually OK for young children.

There should be an age range guideline I think.
