Hello Readers! We are officially a foster family, and since we have a broad age range I've been looking for all levels of books. While book shopping I noticed that there aren't many books for boys, how sad! Maybe that's why boys tend to read less than girls. I know there MUST be other Mamas out there wanting their boys to read, so I started compiling a list of books that are for boys or are gender-neutral. The great thing is, quite a few of these are series! Some of these I've read, and some I haven't.
If you notice that a book has been added to any of the series and I haven't added it, please let me know in a comment! If you have any great books to add, just let me know!
If you're going to share, please link instead of copy+paste. :)
