I have to disagree on her intended demographic. They were definitely meant for people the same age as the main characters, the early teens. And I think the first few worked well as "my first doorstopper." But you're right about her skills as a writer. And unfortunately, a lot of the people obsessed with the series now never branched out into other young adult fiction or moved on to more complex works as they grew up.
