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.

If you drowned and the sea spit you out, thrusting you back into an age of pirates, buried treasure and beauty beyond belief... would you stay? Ricky Bradshaw has never sailed the Caribbean Sea, searched for buried treasure or battled pirates on the deck of a Spanish Galleon. He's never fallen through the floor of Davy Jones' locker, befriended a witch doctor or watched an old fisherman morph into a porpoise. All Ricky knows is his lonely life with his widowed mom in a tiny apartment overlooking a marina on the Chesapeake Bay. But all that changes on a snowy Christmas Eve when Ricky's apartment building burns down and he falls into the chilly waters while trying to save BARNACLE, a mangy mutt with shrimp breath. Suddenly Ricky finds himself confronted by his neighbor, a young woman in a pink bathrobe who jumped to her death in order to escape the flames. She offers him a choice: go with her to a wonderful afterlife where snowflakes taste like candy or return to the dreary old world he knows. Ricky picks the past and awakes on a raft in the middle of the sea where there is surprising beauty on every island, danger around every corner and great honor and glory ahead of him... if only Ricky can summon the courage to survive the curse of Captain LaFoote.
