It’s the beginning of summer. If you’re like most parents, you’re probably trying to figure out how to keep your son reading this summer, especially given the fact that a lof of boys are less-than-enthusiastic readers.
Luckily for me (and you!), I’m a member of a fabulous group of writers who also happen to be parents. When one parent recently asked for book suggestions for her elementary school-aged son, the suggestions were fast and furious — and so good that I’m passing them on to you. So good, in fact, that I’m only going to share their series recommendations with you today. We’ll talk authors another time.
Here, then, a list of boy-approved book series:
Lemony Snicket and a Series of Unfortunate Events
Little House on the Prairie (start with Farmer Boy
if you think your boys will object to the female protagonists)
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
If You Lived… historical series
The Mysterious Benedict Society
Have any series you’d like to add to the list?
