No, emphatically not, Mark. An emergent adult reader is an
adult who has pre-adult reading skills. There are 11 million
emergent adult readers in Britain (as determined by having a
reading age of 13 or under), about 25 percent of the adult
population. So the 'Most Wanted' series are books designed to
be accessible to this demographic (reading age of 8+, in
fact), as well as being accessible to everyone else, of
course.
