The AR (Accelerated Reader -- a reading comprehension program they
use in schools in the U.S.) level ranges from 5.5 for SS to the
upper 6's for the next 3; and 7.2 for OOTP. (as far as I can tell,
the reading level is basically grade level, based on median readers
for that grade level). In my public library, books 1-3 are shelved
as juvenile lit; 4 and 5 as teen lit.
> My third grader and several classmates have read and passed the
tests on several of the books; the best reader in the class has
completed all five.

Potioncat:
The public library in my area shelves the books in several different
areas. But you're saying that those 3rd graders are reading at 5th
grade and above and I would agree.
I do agree that the books can be read at many different levels.
Probably far more than JKR ever imagined. But I'm also sure she put
levels into these books.
I enjoy reading "The Series of Unfortunate Events" to my youngest
and I love the deeper jokes and literary asides...but I can't
picture myself on a chat site like this one for it!
