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.

In 1885, the Murphy mine struck gold. According to legend, Annie Murphy killed her husband out of greed, but just before she was to be hanged for the murder, she escaped. Now, a hundred years later, there have been sightings of Annie Murphy's "ghost." The Coopers unwittingly become involved in a mystery that finds them caught between the past and the present.
