These are 'Enid Blyton style' books where a group of young people go in search of adventure. They are aged between 12 and 14. I know that 'The Famous Five' are referred to as children's books, but somehow it doesn't seem to suit. In Portugal they separate children's books from books meant for teenagers. Is there a more appropriate term for this in English?
Thank you in advance for your help!
