Scholastic keeps kids reading... that's the intention of their company to keep them reading. They have lots of books that many of you perhaps read in grade school.
One of the reasons that J.K. was initially turned down by publishers was because she was told that no child will ever read a book that long. I remember looking at War & Peace and thought to myself in HS, I'd never want to read a book that long. I've read all 4, and book 5 is on the list of to read.
So I commend her for her ablily to make reading cool, to give kids something to look forward to, and when they become adults, remember back to their childhood, that reading for fun is a great pastime.
