Chapter Books for Boys

Here's another book list I share often. I created it for the boys in my husband's class for summer reading, after a parent asked about classic books. It is aimed at boys just getting into longer chapter books. I haven't created a similar girls list (most lists seem to be for girls anyway!) but I will survey my "girl book" girl and make one up. My oldest daughter actually helped create this list - she enjoys "boy books", especially The Great Brain and The Sugar Creek Gang. You can also print this list out neatly here.
