i think the problem is, she wrote the first one to amuse her kids, became overly popular, and then had to scramble to keep the story going... if her market had stayed 11-year-old, i rather suspect that books 3-7 would have had a different tone, and the glaring plot/logic holes would have not been an issue... and then, eventually, if she kept writing, her books and characters would have passed muster with the scientifically-minded adults... but as it is, she's trying to force a children's story into the mold of adult fiction, without losing either audience... and she just doesn't have the experience for that.
personally, i'm going to finish out the series just because i'm curious where she intends to take it (or, more to the point, how she intends to get there)...
