Feel compelled to ask the obvious question: why did you tag this one with "boys reading"?
Because so many of the books on the list are about boys and signal boys as part of their implied audience. As a genre, children's literature in general has an implied audience of girls, so I feel like it's worth pointing out when books acknowledge that boys read, too.
Thanks for the comment-Roger!
Oh, and the list, too!
