|comment=Hi Karen, and thanks for your comments! I see where you're coming from, but would disagree. Aside from the Lawrence more likely appealing to girls and Ford to boys, I don't think the difference is in the target audience at all - both series are suitable for similarly aged children, at a similar reading level, and with a similar interest in historical narratives. The difference simply lies in the societies described - and following on from that, the kind of adventures each child in each setting are likely to have. There are also other similarities, such as the treatment of subjugated races/peoples and the connections each central character makes with them.
It's always good to talk to people interested in children's books from outside the UK, and (although not library editions), you might find thebookbag more useful for book-buying than you realise as we carry Amazon US links whenever the American site carries the book. It's up in the top right there.
Jill :)
