There's a new piece of research published by the Literacy Trust here in the UK about boys falling behind in reading and how this could be tackled. One of the reasons found is a lack of books of interest to boys. They do tend to prefer non-fiction, but that is so often overlooked by big publishers, schools and even parents. Read the report here http://www.literacytrust.org.uk/assets/0001/4056/Boys_Commission_Report.pdf
Moriarty Press is featured in interview with Shipwrecked! author Alexandra Pratt on http://www.bookengine.blogspot.co.uk/ a blog that's a must for anyone interested in children's books and writing.
