Please respond off list so the conversation can stay on topic and not be disrupted by the following request! TIA!
I am working on a presentation to encourage librarians to pay more attention to the special needs that boys bring to reading. To get them to become lifelong readers, we need to pay special attention to their likes and dislikes. To do that, I am creating a bibliography that will include books that will entice boys. I'm segmenting the list by the following topics/genres:
Adventure
Biography Fantasy/Science fiction Folklore
Graphic Novels Gross
History Horror Humor Informational books Mystery Poetry Realistic Fiction Sports War and weapons
I would appreciate your suggestions of books in any or all of this categories. Again, thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Carole
