Are those some of Diana Wynne Jones's "young adult" books? I recently 
read her more adult-oriented novel DEEP SECRET and enjoyed it a lot, 
though I thought it wasn't as engaging a read as any of the HP books -
 or maybe it just took me a long time to get into it. I'm planning to 
read some of her "young adult" books as well. I took out CART & 
CWIDDER recently but haven't started it yet, as I decided to do some 
totally escapist reading first and read a mystery called ORCHID BLUES 
by Stuart Woods. (If you want something totally escapist and easy to 
read, his books are very good.)
