三、阅读理解
Teenagers have their own TV channels, websites and magazines. So what about books
Last year one publisher, Martins, started publishing a series called Waves. We spoke to the director Julia Smith. She explained, “Teenage fiction has been published since the 1970s but publishers have never been very successful in getting teenagers to buy and read books. Now they’re realizing that teenagers are just older children, but are not adults either. They are often not interested in adult fiction. For this series we are looking for new writers who write especially for teenagers. ”
Athene Gorr’s novel was published in the series last year and is selling well. Its title is The Purple Ring. She says, “The important thing is to encourage teenagers to pick up your book. I’m a new writer. Although I’ve got an unusual name which people might remember, nobody knows it yet! But my book has a fantastic cover which makes people want to look inside. Then they realize what an excellent story it is! ”
And what do teenagers themselves think about the series We talked to Sophie Clarke, aged 15. She said, “I’ve read a few books in the Waves series. They say they are for 14—19-year-olds and I agree with that. We’re not interested in the same things as people in their twenties and thirties. I like them and I think they look really good too. The only thing is that because bookshops put them in the children section, lots of teenagers won’t find them so they may not do very well. And it’s a shame there’s no such series as I think lots of teenagers, especially boys, might buy. ”
