Boys' Books

Boys' Books are always discounted at Schoolhouse Publishing!

If your boys are like most of mine, reading is the last thing they want to spend time doing. I finally realized that there's nothing magical about a book written over a hundred years ago that makes it better or more spiritual (a fallacy called chronological snobbery). In fact, for most boys, wading through a book writen in archaic language is like trying to read a book when English is your second language. And I really, really, really want my boys to love reading. So-o-o, I threw out all my preconceived ideas as to what constitutes good literature for boys and came up with the following list (with my sons' help) of fun, exciting, adventurous, a little scary, a bit gross, but most importantly - morally and spiritually encouraging books.

An exciting mystery for your homeschool library: AD 79, following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the destruction of Pompeii. Among the thousands of people huddled in refugee camps along the bay of Naples are Flavia Gemina and her friends Jonathan the Jewish boy, Nubia the African slave-girl, and Lupus the mute beggar boy. Their discovery that children are being kidnapped from the camps--among them the daughter of the powerful Publius Pollius Felix--leads them to solve the mystery of the pirates of Pompeii. A terrifically exciting and dramatic story and a brilliant picture of the aftermath of a great disaster.
