What time period does the books take place? because sometimes it seems like old times and sometimes it seems modern!

i know! like the computer in the Austere Acadamy is the ONLY thing that makes me think it's early depression, late/mid 20's...

yeah... it's just confusing!

i know! but like in the grim grotto there is a picture of the taxi and it looks totally old fashioned!!

i always thought like the sixties or seventies maybe.... i really dunno, though.... :/

lol the seventies....that would be funny. i can see sunny with an afro...

funny, tigger....i never thought that....>.<

ouch, not what i meant at all emma.... like.... whoa, no. not .... hmm.

hmm..well i never thought about it actually!!

i was kidding!!

I think that the time period is old times.

yeah, the question is how old though ;D

yeah I thought it was pretty old until the part about that computer, but other than that it seems to take place a while ago...

maybe... maybe vice principle nero was a TIME TRAVELLER!!! :O

or whoever actually had the computer, i don't even rememberrr....

lol..

yeah it was nero but it was like a really old, non-internet computer that was all huge and chunky and stupid but i think it was supposed to be like a timeless, non-existent era because

A. like none of the stuff that happened in the books is actually possible

B. the car was really, really old looking. like as in the first cars

C. the way they dress

D. there was a computer


i think he sort of made one up.

yeah, me 2

or.... EVERYBODY WAS A TIME TRAVELER! :O
or yeah, yours works too, emma... :P

lol

they also have typewriters...

yeah, i agree Emma, totally. i think he purposely threw in things like the computer so it couldn't be a specific place or time.

yuppers. YAY ME.

maybe..god, he's so MYSTERIOUS!

i KNOW!! its kind of annoying.

yeah. KIND of.

not soooo much... hes just trying to get ppl to read his books....infact... .hes the only one i know who does that
hes one in a million...

i shudnt say that..its reminds me of hannah montana.... not good

I've always thought that it was either the 40's or 50's or it didn't have a specific time period...

i havent really thought about that...
who knows....

I'm thinking it's an alternate reality so there's no specific time period. ;) hehe. It's too quirky to be normal "earth".
