I was wondering if anybody can point me in the right direction. Im interested in reading Sk novels that deal with children. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Welcome Carlos - there's many novels with children in them, and novels with child narrators. I think The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon would be a good one, as well as The Talisman. Happy reading!

Welcome!
I have a few works (not only novels, though) which include the term "children" in a broader context to add to ski mom's great list. Some have adult characters reflecting upon childhood memories, some with children who are victim's of one or another evil, some weigh young people under very stressful circumstances, some with a child or two briefly appearing, for instance...Carrie (teen)

Yup. I didn't do stories individually--SO many of them!
I really liked Mr. King's answer to the question of why/how he could have such terrible things happen to kids in his works (this is in one of the essays in Secret Windows--can't remember which one & too lazy to go get the book). He said it was because he feared nothing more than something happening to his kids. Writing about it seemed like a shamanic talisman against horrible things: nothing bad could happen in real life if he made something worse happen on paper. I totally get that feeling.
