Kinda going OT here, but it's interesting that most of us here are talking about girls really loving this series, and not boys. As I mentioned, my ds was *really* into it when he read it, and now that my dd8 is reading the series... I help her class during library time... so I get to hang out and see what the kids are reading etc... and she's the only girl in her class who's reading the series... but there are quite a few boys who are also reading them.

Don't know why I find that interesting!
