Welcome to the Books for Boys home page, dedicated to the advancement of juvenile and young adult literature that's especially appropriate for boys. No Anne of Green Grables here. And Laura Wilder is strictly confined to her Little House and is NOT allowed to come out. This page is for BOYS, and if that sounds like a turn-off to you, you are welcome to leave. None of that sissy stuff here. We've got your Redwall; we've got your Tollbooth; we've got your Stinky Cheese Man. It's all here, plus some stuff you never knew existed. Come on in and have a look around.

Just so you know, you're visitor to this page.

Ways to Browse

Because there are so many ways to catagorize children's books, its hard to set up a page about them just one way. So we've set up Author pages with summaries of titles, and then set up various lists of those titles, organized different ways, with links to the full descriptions.

NOTE: I have only listed books that I like. If you see a title, and you know the book, don't bother to read the full description. However, I have also carefully considered a few books that you will find listed at the bottom of each author under the caption "Conspicuous in its Abscence." These titles are ones I intentionallly do not review because they stink.

• Favorite Books

Do you already have a few favoiite books? Have some you've read that you've just thought, "Why aren't all books like this?" Well, some books are. On this page I list recommend where, if you liked an author or book, you can go to find something just as good.

• Author

Do you trust me?

• Titles

Just a laundry list of all reviwed titles, alphabetically, not sorted by anything. Not good for much, but I went to the trouble to make it and update it, so I hope somebody visits it.

• Subject

This is where you proboaby want to go--here things are divided up into catagories like picture books, easy readers, mysteries, etc.
