Parents and teachers often say that young people do not read enough. Is this true? These days children and teenagers are reading lots of books by authors like Meg Rosoff, J.K. Rowling and Philip Pullman. My teenage neighbour Ben says, 'I am reading a great book at the moment. It is a detective story by Henning Mankel.' His friend Sam adds, 'My favourite books are by science fiction writers, but I never buy books - I always get them from the library. Sam's sister also says, 'My parents usually give me books for my birthday - this year I am reading lots of short stories.
Librarians say, 'It's great. These days more young people use libraries. They always start with the Harry Potter books when they are nine or ten years old, but then they try different books.'
