There are an assortment of books written for kids but enjoyable by adults for that reason. Other examples include C. S. Lewis's "Chronicles of Narnia", and Lloyd Alexander's "Chronicles of Prydain"
If you're a kid, you are likely to love both. If you're a grownup, depths appear you wouldn't be aware of as a kid.
