For a dated series, this series is surprisingly progressive. The only downside is that it treats it's Disabled characters as plot devices for the main, non disabled, characters, but all in all, I highly recommend this series, even for adults.
It is amazing how a children's book series can capture ineffectiveness so well. The kids have to save the day because the adults are too busy to, well, save the day. This series, though, goes even deeper, into a subtle critique of Capitalism. I cannot recommend this series enough. The writing is especially witty. This series really does shine a light on the phrase, talk is cheap.
