Globe Books' Book Of The Decade
Click here to see Globe Books' Book Of The Decade. A "slightly altered" excerpt to keep you in suspense as to the book's title:
Millions of children, especially boys, for whom reading had been something remote, intimidating, uninteresting, took to the book. You couldn't walk through a mall, an airport, a park without seeing one or another of the series in the hands of a young person. And not young people alone; adults devoured the book as well. The book may have created a generation of readers, and, if we're lucky, it may not be the last such generation.
