About the Author:
Daniel Pennac is one of the most translated authors in France, with books including Dog and Eye of the Wolf appearing in more than thirty languages worldwide. Sarah Adams is an award-winning translator, winning the Marsh Award for Translation in 2005 for Eye of the Wolf. Quentin Blake is one of the best known children's author/illustrators, illustrating books by Roald Dahl, John Yeoman and Michael Rosen.
From Booklist:
First published in 1992, this new translation of French author Pennac’s joyful ode to reading features an introduction by illustrator Quentin Blake, who also contributes quirky, playful sketches to complement the author’s engaging prose. Passionate and witty, Pennac draws upon his experiences as a child, parent, and inner-city teacher in Paris to espouse insightful declarations and reflections about the power of story. Pennac criticizes parents who do not nourish the enthusiasm their children have for reading, chastises educators who suck out the joy of the written word, and laments how our consumer culture reduces the book to a mere product—and he manages to do all of this without sounding didactic. Pennac closes the book by elaborating on his well-known 10 “rights of the reader.” Interest in this book among teens is likely to be limited, but those who share Pennac’s passion for reading will find it affirming. Grades 9-12. --Ed Sullivan
