Ett slags trolleri som händer inne i huvudet det är vad litteratur är, enligt en tioårig pojke citerad i denna bok. Men för många människor är den magiska världen stängd. Trots att de har knäckt läskoden läser de ogärna böcker. Att lära sig läsa är en sak, att bli en aktiv läsare något annat. I bokens första del Böcker omkring oss, om läsmiljö diskuteras vad som behövs för att göra människor till läsare. Vilka faktorer spelar in? Vilka hinder finns det på vägen? Och vad kan vi vuxna göra för att undanröja dem och få fler att upptäcka hur tecknen på boksidorna blir till magi inne i huvudet? I bokens andra del Böcker inom oss, om boksamtal presenteras en av dessa faktorer i detalj. Det är i samtalet, i mötet med andra läsare, som litteraturen och läsupplevelsen fördjupas och utvidgas. Aidan Chambers är en outtröttlig förespråkare för barns rätt till litteratur och litteraturens rätt till tänkande läsare. Teori och resonemang kring läsning som fenomen varvas med konkreta och praktiska förslag på hur man kan gå till väga för att hjälpa andra att utvecklas som läsare och hur man leder boksamtal. Böcker inom och omkring oss är en reviderad dubbelvolym som dessutom innehåller två helt nyskrivna kapitel.
