Reading experts all agree that boys need to be allowed to pick the books that really interest them.

Finding the right book is the key to transforming a kid who says they don’t like to read into a self-described “reader.”

Here are the books the kids raved about because they had the perfect combination of suspense, action, and character drama, plus storylines so engaging they didn’t want to put them down.

These aren’t just good books, they’re the absolute best books to captivate, thrill and intrigue your boys.

Even boys who don’t like to read. They’d just rather be doing something rather than reading – like throwing a baseball or watching hockey game. But whether you’re 12 or 62, grab this book and head out to the treehouse.
