Finding Books for Boys

For some reason, it seems we have to work a little bit harder to find books boys will love. Well, I just wanted to share some posts and a video to show you that there certainly are many books out there for even the most reluctant of readers. Here they are:

• 6th grade teacher and author, Donalyn Miller's Boy Year

• The New York Times' Behind the Wimpy Kid Phenomenon

• The Percy Jackson & the Olympians movie is coming out in February! You can take a sneak peak here and read about what my son thought about this series, and get some other book ideas here.

You can find some other book ideas for boys at the following prior posts:

• Summer Reading Should be Fun

• Need Some Laughs? Turn to Comic Books and Graphic Novels

• Developing Empathy Through Chapter Books

• A Truly Unforgettable Sports Fiction Series

• Two Captivating Chapter Books for Tweens

Please note that you can find even more chapter books in my From My Kids to Yours Category, and at my Amazon Store. You should know that I will receive a nominal commission if you make a purchase through any of these links. You can read my disclosure policy for more details.

So, PLEASE don't let your son tell you he doesn't have anything to read, or that he doesn't LIKE to read. There really is a book out there for every type of reader...

What book or series of books had your son hooked? Please do share!
