I hear that "stories of people suffering unfortunate things" sells really well to teenage girls, which surprises most everyone in the trade, so that display you saw is likely merely a response to customer purchasing trends as much as the "childrens books about magic in schools" display. As to why people write their stories up, the money may be such as not to be sneezed at.
