It appears readers have vastly different expectations about how children think...

Ender's Game was the first thing that came to my mind when I read the OP's post. In fact, I see things just the opposite of the OP. I find that the kids in most of the books I read are
more intelligent than the average kids in real life. Not that this bothers me, I still like the stories.
