Another recent book which has been enormously successful among adults is Frindle. Naturally, teachers love it, but I also shared it with a friend whose father was dying - she read it, her mother read it and they read it aloud to her father. Here I think the adult reader has an adult character to identify with in addition to the
"children's" story. Melody Allen Melodyan at lori.state.ri.us
P.S. Thanks to Kathy Odean for info on philosopher's stone and Maia, I'm right with you on the "chocolate" theory.
