This is an amazing book in terms of imparting information about the sad state of boys and literacy in the U.S. As the mother of a teenage son, I work really hard to find ways to get my son to read. I am a big reader and know that it is important to read. But the last few chapters of this book lay out the life-long implications for boys who never become readers - pretty grim.

Lots of helpful strategies for getting boys to read. I highly recommend this book!
