Boy readers and the Book Whisperer

Donalyn Miller, "the book whisperer", writes a blog I enjoy - her latest post is about the boy readers in her class http://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/book_whisperer/

She mentions some titles her boys (and many girls) love to read this year:

• The Hunger Games and Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
• Found and Sent by Margaret Peterson Haddix
• Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz
• The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney
• Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan
• Bone graphic novels by Jeff Smith
• Peak by Roland Smith (all of Smith's books are perennial favorites)
• Killer Pizza by Greg Taylor
• The Heir Chronicles by Cinda Williams Chima
