Abena, who is 18, recently read Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi, and thought it was wonderful. She does feel a bit bad about downloading it illegally, she says, but her mother is a single parent who can't afford to feed her voracious love of books. She has also enjoyed the entire Percy Jackson series without paying its author, Rick Riordan, a penny. She's not a thief, though, she says: "I wouldn't take food or clothes without paying the people who made them, because they're physical things. I believe real life and the internet differ."
