Question

Ben's father，Ken，said Ben's ambitions"weren't to knock Harry Potter off the list，"but"to get that good feeling inside that you've done something．"
Ajla Dizdarevic，12，who has self?published two books of poetry，has been on television and in local newspapers．Being a published author，she said，"was always a dream of mine．"Her new dream：three books by age 15．
