I was thinking about the Harry Potter books and their size when I mentioned the length of the book. What was in my mind was that those books have become thicker as the series has progressed. But what occurred to me about HP in this context was that the age of the characters grows as the series progresses and there are aspects of the writing that get older as well. You could potentially use the HP books as a guide to the age of other books. So, Un Lun Dun is a Philosophers Stone level book but it is as thick as Goblet of Fire.
