Dear Margaret,

I have just started a boy's book club for my son and his friends (ages 8 through 10.) Here are some of our list.

A Single Shard Linda Sue Park

The Boy Who Saved Baseball John Ritter

Bud, Not Buddy

The Secret of Platform 13 Eva Ibbotson

Project Mulberry Linda Sue Park

The Scarecrow and His Servant Philip Pullman

The Phantom Tollbooth Norman Juster

Frindle Andrew Clements

Dragon's Milk Susan Fletcher

And my son and I really loved The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall. It is funny, full of action, and very well written.....but it is not really a "boy book."

I'm glad you asked this question. I am looking forward other responses so I can add to our list! Thank you.

All the best,

Sally Davies
