I heard Bruce Coville at a conference last spring, and I remember him saying there were three elements that made the books - the school story (hogwarts) the sports stoy ( quidditch) and I wish I could remember the third. Will ome to me later. Perhaps to do with bully & underdog. He made sense. I am developing a core of Diana Wynne Jones readers now too. I love Dark Lord of Derkholm, Charmed Life and the other Chrestomanci books. Florence McElligott, media Rosendale Elementary
