Over the past few decades there have been intense debates in education surrounding children’s literacy achievement and ways to promote reading, particularly that of boys. The
book series has been received enthusiastically by very many children, boys and girls alike, but has also been constructed in popular and media discourses as a children’s, particularly a boys’, literacy saviour.
provides empirical evidence of young people’s reported literacy practices and views on reading, and of how they see how the
series as having impacted their own literacy. The volume explores and debunks some of the myths surrounding
and literacy, and contextualizes these within children’s wider reading.
