I have two real readers (12 and 13) who would devour these books, and another (12 also; I have twins) who would be shamed and pressured by his sibs into trying them. ;) I will definitely keep my eyes out for these! I like what you said about the violence. My kids are old enough now that it wouldn't be a problem, but when they were younger we could see a definite correlation between what they watched/read and how they acted. I actually had to forbid Calvin and Hobbes when Elliot was 6, because he was acting out Calvin and it was a bit too bratty in real life ;) (That only lasted a couple of years) Oh these sound IDEAL!
