[Publib] Waiting Breathlessly

[Backwage at aol.com]

"With the Harry Potter series now completed, Scholastic, the United States  
publisher of those wildly successful books by J. K. Rowling, is moving forward  
with what it hopes will be its follow-up blockbuster series.  Called “The  39 
Clues,” this series will feature 10 books — the first of which is to go on  
sale next September — as well as related Web-based games, collectors’ cards 
and  cash prizes. The project demonstrates Scholastic’s acknowledgment that as 
much  as the publisher heralded the renewed interest in reading represented by 
the  Harry Potter books, many children are now as transfixed by Internet and 
video  games as they are by reading."

Hey, it's not about the money.  It's about childhood literacy.   Really. 
M. McGrorty, waiting for the action figures.
