“I like reading books about kids where there weren't really many adults, where they didn't need an adult to come and solve the problems for them. They could use their own ingenuity, use their own talents to solve whatever the issue was. And I like that still. I think that children want to read about heroic children. They don't want to read about children that have to be saved all the time.” ThinkingWantNeedsChildrenStillsBookUseProblemKidsReadingIssuesTalentAdultsSolveSavedHeroicReading BooksIngenuity Author:John Boyne
