Sandy:
Is this what you're looking for? (from 6 Oct. 2000 scholastic books 
online chat -- transcript on Mugglenet.com)

Do you think elementary-age children will be able to read the other 
three books in the series?
Yes, I do. I personally feel the books are suitable for people aged 8 
years and over. Though my daughter, who is seven, has read them all 
and not been very frightened — but maybe she's tough, like her 
mother!

Sandy: I told my son just the other day, I would have loved to have 
Harry Potter and Lemony Snicket when I was his age.
