Have you had a chance to read
Three Cups of Tea? How about
Unbroken? Or Bill O'Reilly's
Killing Lincoln? These best-selling non-fiction titles are now all available in adaptations geared for middle grade or YA kids. Books such as the autobiographical
I Am Malala give kids a global perspective and deliver a strong message. Last fall,
The New York Times published an
article about this growing trend in which authors and publishers are learning that simplifying popular non-fiction adult titles for children is a lucrative enterprise. I just finished reading
The Boys in the Boat, another title that has recently been adapted for kids. What a great way to start a parent/child book club!
