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

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

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

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.

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