One thing I feel the article missed out was Manga - that's HUGE in the 11+ age group in the UK, and I bet in the states too. That's where so many kids are going - online and in physical books. That doesn't help the uk publishing industry much cos it's really an export market, not translation market.

Yes, I’d agree with all of that, some of what she says drfinitely doesn’t apply over here. I’m not sure what she meant about no books being published for 13-15 year-olds. I would have thought that’s the age range that’s best catered for.
