Well, he is primarily a children's book writer.

u sure, hes written about 10 books: 4 sally, 3 hdm, 1 clockwork, fire... and count karlstein

i wouldnt have sed that sally was for children and hdm isnt. and i wouldntr advise children below the age of 10 to read clockwork or karlstein

so its for younger children

10 books?? must be more than that.

And i read count karlstein to my 8 year oldsister and she loved it

ok then, maybe so but still that 8:2, 7:3 at a stretchs

PostPosted: **Sun Feb 23, 2003 2:47 pm**

But apart from the Sally Lockhart and HDM series they're all childrens books.

PostPosted: **Sun Feb 23, 2003 5:04 pm**

all 3 of them

PostPosted: **Sun Feb 23, 2003 6:40 pm**

That makes it 3:2 on the children's book side. Add the upcoming scarecrow book and thats 2:1.

PostPosted: **Sun Feb 23, 2003 11:38 pm**

but each of the childrens books are only about 50 pages long so its obvious which he puts more effort into writing

OK, I'm polling this...

Just....do the poll.

clockwork's happy-ending enough for a kiddy book, but it's pretty... gothic? i don't know. the rest of his books weren't all childrens books. um... the white mercedes definitely not. i don't think galatea was. i haven't too many of his books.

Yes, it was very gothic wasn't it? Creeped me out somewhat... PP has said that he prefers ghost stories best of all so I guess I shouldn't be suprised.

don't forget The White Mercedes. That was far from a children's book.

Someone find a list of his books....

PostPosted: **Fri Mar 07, 2003 5:53 pm**

you can do it..

PostPosted: **Fri Mar 07, 2003 6:36 pm**

You know, BTTS has a link to the "official" list...

http://www.randomhouse.com/features/pul ... books.html

I don't know if that has everything, but it has most of the stuff by PP.

He's not really what I would call a children's author.
