With the wild success of the Harry Potter franchise, publishers of books for children and young adults are scrambling to get a share of the pie. They have been dismayed to discover, however, that cheap knockoffs of the HP books have failed to make an impression on discerning young readers, so they're taking a different approach and have embarked on a bold new program of publishing "reimagined" versions of some beloved classics, made "fresh and exciting" for kids of today, who are inured to the subtle pleasures of bygone eras and are demanding more explicitness and "narrative intensity" in keeping with the sensibilities of the fare they encounter regularly on television, in video games, and comic books. Look for these exciting reconfigured titles!
