I enjoyed the books and so did my 10-year-old, so I can safely say that this series is a fun read for both boys and girls of all ages. My web search revealed the age range for this series is from 9 years to 49 years \ud83d\ude42<\/h4>\n
<\/h4>\n
As an adult, I will say that I found the writing to be a wee bit childish and it seemed that the editing wasn’t that good either\u00a0but for my 10 years old it was “Just Perfect”.<\/h4>\n
