Publisher's Synopsis
Based on more than twenty years' experience working to get boys interested in reading, Michael Sullivan now offers his first readers' advisory volume. With an emphasis on nonfiction and the boy-friendly categories of genre fiction, the work offers a wealth of material including: suggestions for how to booktalk one-on-one as well as in large groups; methods of performing indirect readers' advisory by working with parents or teachers; lists of great authors for boys in the various genres and over five hundred recommended books; and, also lists of read-alikes as well as titles to offer a boy in place of a book he did not like or would not read. It is complete with hundreds of suggested titles, booktalks, and lists to help turn boys into rabid readers.
