I weeded them and took them all home (and now they are gradually becoming available via ebook and, to my utter delight, audio book). I think my library kids want the more immediate scare and something easier to read.

They were briefly reprinted with some rather nasty covers by Brett Helquist around 2008 but went back out of print. I've tried to get kids into Stranger at Green Knowe - it's similar in some ways to One and Only Ivan (though, in my opinion, better) and have had some interest. I sadly weeded all of ours and replaced them with a paperback edition from the UK that includes the first two books, just in case I find someone who wants to read them.

Just so you know. Give it away if you decide to weed at some stage, but perhaps think carefully before dropping it in the bin, unless it’s battered.

And I can't imagine a library NOT having The House with a Clock in Its Walls or The Mixed Up Files. These are true classics. Now you have me wanting to re-read them :-) Jen Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10343476550309656223noreply@blogger.com
