Next up someone is going to claim that the Narnia series isn't kids books.
Kids books is probably not the best way to word it, you can enjoy them at every age, including your childhood, as you get older you may find new truths in them, but they're still good for any age.
“You read a 310-page book as a child?”
Yes? Several times? Often more than that? It’s not difficult?
Have we forgotten that the later Harry Potter books (fuck JK Rowling) are upwards of like- 600-700 pages? I read that entire series in 3rd-4th grade (8/9yo). Being able to read a 310 page book was nothing impressive at that age, it was standard, it was expected.
Each of the Percy Jackson books are around 300 pages each. 310 is like- standard novel length for that age group. 310 pages is nothing special or impressive for a kid what is that guy on about?
I knew the literacy crisis was bad, but I didn’t realize it was so bad that 310 pages is a lot for a 8-9 year old to read now 😥
