What's in this list?
This list contains around 170 titles guaranteed to
get boys reading, arranged by genre. There are plenty of
up-to-the-minute titles, some modern classics, and one or two old
favourites.
Its focus is fiction – though there are some
non-fiction titles amongst the others – and it doesn’t include
the whole range of other material that you could use to tempt boys into
reading. These include things like puzzle books, magazines, comics,
newspapers (including those for young people), DVDs, CDs and so on; you can
add as many of these as your boys tell you they need.
We hope you enjoy browsing the list, giving your
library a fresh injection of great titles to get boys into books!
