However, the books often appeal to a broader audience, including:
* Young adults: Teens might still enjoy the humor and relatable situations, even if they're a bit older than the target age.
* Adults: Many adults find the books funny and nostalgic, and they can be a great way to connect with younger family members or students.
While the series is marketed towards a younger audience, Kinney's books are written in a way that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The humor is accessible and engaging, and the themes of growing up, friendship, and dealing with difficult situations are universal.
