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.
