Shelved here as Juvenile, and indeed the first few stories are. They do get more intense, and longer... but not really more interesting. I'm disappointed now, and would have been as a child or teen, too. The only thing I got out of this was a reminder to read more by [a:Saki|6076026|Saki|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1366003885p2/6076026.jpg].
