The How To’s For Book Clubs: Favorite Books For Boys
Welcome to the seventh day of 10 Days of The How To’s For Book Clubs. Today I have compiled a list of books that may appeal to our boys.
Now please don’t jump on me about the gender thing. I am very aware that these may not appeal to some boys, but may appeal to girls. I just used this as a stemming point to separate out a very large list of books. My son happened to enjoy Nancy Drew more than the Hardy Boys, and my daughter loves Goosebumps while my son (her older brother) is terrified of them and thus is not interested in reading them!
Please feel to check out my other book lists in this series as I am sure both boys and girls, and people of all ages can appreciate many of the books listed on each list: Elementary Ages, Favorite Books For Girls, as well as Popular Children & Teen Book Series.

Great list. If your children (boy or girl 🙂 ) enjoys adventure fantasy books you should also have them check out The Chronicles of Pyrdain series by Lloyd Alexander; it’s a favorite at our house.
