Yep, agreed. She may not have written masterpieces of literature, but she's a very clever writer who has evolved with her readers. They'll be timeless in that sense, with younger children starting with the first novel and growing up with them, as each book gets bigger and more sophisticated. That was a very intelligent thing to do on her part.
And that lad is a prat of the highest order. Well known for being a bit of a douche.
