Fortunately, Scieszka’s perspective suggests that Philip Meyer’s story will remain in satire for some time, but he’s not leaving that to chance. In a recent interview with Book Business Extra, he said, “I’ve started a literacy group for boys called Guys Read (www.GuysRead.com). The more research I looked into, [the more I found data that] showed that boys are reading. It’s just not how schools define it. It’s not all novels. There are other kinds of reading. We should let kids read what they enjoy. There are graphic novels, and a lot of what kids want to read is nonfiction.”
