Butler 7 Tim Bowler’s Blade Series Michele Gill 22 Reviews 9 Young Adult Girls’ Reading 27 Reports Bridget Carrington 29 News 12 Boys and their Ponies Jenny Kendrick 31 Forthcoming events The relationship between gender and reading lends itself to a variety of different interpretations, several of which occur in the articles in this issue of IBBYLink.. One is the extent to which boys and girls have different approaches to reading, often associated with the fact that surveys all seem to disclose that boys read less than girls. This question is explored here by Nicola Morgan, Chris Brown and Rebecca Butler, who present ways of tackling this problem but also refuse to accept facile generalities about it – by no means all boys are less avid readers than girls or automatically prefer non-fiction. That there has been an increase in titles aimed at adolescent boys is certainly true, but again, it would be rash to suppose that all the readers of Anthony Horowitz or Charlie Higson are boys, any more than in the past it was the case with G.A. Henty and R.L. Stevenson. Boys may indeed enjoy non-fiction and books from which they can pick up information, but the same is also true of many girls.

We are now collectively owned by the creative people who run it, and as ever, unashamed of our feminist guiding principles. Our understanding of bookmaking as important cultural intervention has widened this year, with more unconventional and adventurous conversations between artists and writers. The year has been an eventful one. We have two major new directions to announce: a photography series called ‘Indian Album’ featuring some of the most talented yet unknown street photographers of India; and a graphic novel list created by Patua folk artists from Bengal in collaboration with a range of brilliant writers across the world. Our ongoing work with the rich folk and tribal artists of India continues: the painting of the office autorickshaw with Gond artist Bhajju Shyam was the happiest event by far. We’ve also started working with several new traditions: Warli from Maharashtra and Mithila art from Bihar, and our new books continue to strive for a union of fine form with rich content.
