I know my library system has these as 7+ (well, one is 9+), but I think newly confident readers between 5 and 7, and those being read to, are the perfect audience for these older gems.
Fleur Beale is rightly touted for her books for older readers, including teens. So these books are often overlooked, or forgotten.
Time for a republish!
