Hi Joyce,
How's NECC? Did not check your list above yet but try The Brothers Torres. I also liked Last Exit to Normal but it's not for every boy.

Hi Joyce!
It might be that The Kite Runner is no longer a good choice because it has been out for a while and made into a movie, but ALL of the boys in my 12th grade English class loved that book as their summer reading. Life of Pi also had that effect.
I think they have to be a little older to enjoy these books and they also have to have an English teacher who is willing to do the hard sell.

This is a great website. Two quick questions: Do you offer advertising? And two, I have a book that's geared for young adults, leans a little more to boys... in paperback. I'd be happy to send you a copy, if you want to consider it. Here's the website with info about it: www.Nuldoid.com.
Thanks,
Russ

I loved your choices. Our kids love The Mortal Instruments books by Cassandra Clare. Seems that either SF or sports books appeal most to the guys. How about Art of Racing in the Rain for the sports fans?
