Once again a Harry Potter book has topped
a poll for kids. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has been chosen as the top book in Scholastic's online poll "Kids' Pick For 2007" for 4th - 6th Grade readers.
The poll helped kick-off Read For 2007: Read For Life:
... the eighth annual worldwide read-a-thon to get kids excited about reading, created by Scholastic, the global children's publishing, education and media company, together with Reading Is Fundamental, the oldest and largest children's literacy organization in the country. On Friday, December 8, 2006, millions of children will join together to read for 2,007 seconds (approximately 33-1/2 minutes) and to commit to reading throughout the new year. Governors' spouses across the country, as well as teachers and librarians around the world will hold reading events celebrating the joy of reading on this day and every day.

Very impressive. It appears that a strong track record continues. JKR must be very proud of the effect that she has had on some many children.

I can't imagine 4th-6th graders reading about Inferi and not having nightmares forever and ever and ever. I guess I'm just weak. And dorky to not remember that the series is meant for kids...

Too bad it's a just for kids recommendation. I think it's a must read for adults too. But, I understand the motivation behind it and completely agree!

4th to 6th graders? How old do you have to be to be in that grade? I'm welsh, so i don't really know how it works.
I adore Harry Potter, but i think HBP is for any age not just 4th-6th graders.

I think it can be read by anyone- HP isn't exactly childish, there are more adult themes to it aswell, especially in HBP... I'm glad it won though, it's my favourite so far.

Well, what does anyone expect? Of course it topped this list. HBP is a wonderful book, and is at the top of most lists it is a part of! I'm glad that JK's work is continuing to encourage reading for children.
