That's why I thought I knew it but wasn't sure - it was on the cover of the book when I bought it for my niece. My copy was much older and had a very different cover.
No Diana Wynne Jones book is too young for an adult. I was lucky enough to read her as a child, and kept picking up her books second hand wherever I found them. I encouraged some other like-minded adults to read them too. Thanks to J K Rowling, Wynne Jones' books underwent a rennaisance ("Quick! Find us a quality children's book that will sell!) and I have been able to pick up those I missed and those written after my time too.
For the record, Charmed Life is my favourite, The Homeward Bounders second.
