Melinda books feature a large vocabulary, but shorter chapters to keep younger readers engaged. Melinda herself is a socially awkward 10 year old girl, however, books are suitable for both a younger and older audience, and the problems she encounters have nothing to do with her gender.
Every Melinda book centers around a safe, wholesome adventure where Melinda must use tools and skills she has previously developed to fix the problem.
NO catty girl drama
NO boy-crazy idolizing
NO children doing adult jobs
Clean. Safe. Fun.
