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.
