12 Books My Boys Couldn’t Put Down

One of the luxuries of a childhood summer is having the time to get lost in a book. You know a book is really engrossing when a boy doesn’t come for lunch because he just can’t stop reading. Here is a list of chapter books that All-Star and Feisty couldn’t put down:

  1. Several of the books you listed are favorites around here, too, especially the Lloyd Alexander series. From a friend’s recommendation, my son recently started the Septimus Heap series (book one is called Magyk), and he really enjoys them.

  2. I can’t even begin to thank you for this resource!!! I”m a homeschool vet of almost 16 years now and was seriously wondering what the heck to do next year as I’m running out of ideas. BUT THIS HAS ME ENERGIZED AND ENCOURAGED!!! The reading list for boys is on a definite TO DO LIST for summer read-alouds with my crew. On behalf of me and all of my fellow Martha’s,

    THANK YOU!!
