Books for Boys

Are you looking for books that appeal to boys?  We have several lists of fiction for boys under our Books tab at the top of the page.  There are a lot of booklists under that tab, but click on the second heading, “Books for Boys”, and it will take you to printable lists including Fantasy and Science Fiction Books for Boys, African-American Fiction for Boys, Historical Fiction for Boys, and more.

If that isn’t enough, check out the website www.guysread.com hosted by author Jon Scieszka that features a lot more book ideas for guys.
