Especially not a 14-year-old! Whatever happened to a certain healthful level of EMBARRASSMENT? (Recreational reading is another matter altogether, of course. But parents and teachers have every right to feel their hearts sink once they realize that a particular child ONLY chooses books that are two grades - or more - below the child's current grade level. Such kids used to be called "lazy readers." Nowadays, unfortunately, adults have to walk on eggshells so as not make recreational reading seem too much like an arbitrary chore.)
