Lots more books for boys (and girls too)
After my list of books for boys a few days ago, here are a few more I thought of:
Then wow! Thank you so much for your many, many suggestions. Let’s start with books actually written by a couple of you:
By Hannah McKay and her father, Jeff Roth
To be released in January — 1st in a series
All they wanted was a little adventure. What they got was the adventure of a lifetime.School is out for the summer and Jack, Ben, and Jeb can’t wait to go exploring. Packing their knapsacks and saddling their horses, the trio sets out. But when they stumble across a hidden cave, they also discover the remains of an old Spanish soldier. And a valuable treasure they never could have imagined! But soon they are being followed by a stranger who wants the treasure. In the chase, the brothers end up trapped in an underground river bed, fighting for their lives. They must find their way out before they perish like the Spanish soldier. The boys have trusted the Lord to help them in the past, but will they trust Him now? Join Jack, Ben, and Jeb as they fight for their lives and learn to trust God in Tahosa Treasure! (Amazon Description)
By Bryce Morgan and Mitch Martin
Rescue Me! is a comic book that helps kids connect classic superhero themes with the amazing message of the Bible. This is not what some might think of as a Christian comic book! This is a classic comic book hero in a classic (family friendly) comic book story, interspersed with lessons connecting themes in the story to the timeless truths of the gospel. Kids of all ages won’t be able to put it down! (learn more at www.itscaptainsun.com) (Amazon description)
Here are a bunch you’ve told us about, many of which I haven’t read, but some of you like them and so I pass them on:
Each of the following image links represents either a series or one of several books by the same author:
Now I’m picturing hundreds of boys hidden away in their secret reading nooks–the space between bed and wall, a loft corner, up a tree in clubhouse or on a wide branch, behind the sofa or garage . . . Too bad for you if you were hoping they’d take out the trash or dry the dishes.
Please keep those suggestions coming!

Thanks for all these suggestions! Don’t forget the Scout Series by Piet Prins!
Thanks for all the suggestions Noel! I just finished reading Treasure Island with my 8 year old boy and was looking for another (Going with Swiss Family Robinson). These two I found free on http://www.gutenberg.org because their copyright had expired. They work perfectly on most ereaders such as kindle and ibook. There are over 40K titles available there and many for young boys and girls. My daughter is reading Great Expectations, also free from the Gutenberg Project.
Great list. Here are some my daughter and I have been enjoying this past year:
“Jungle Doctor and The Whirlwind” and the rest of the Jungle Doctor books written by Paul White, a missionary to Africa.
“Ten Girls Who Changed the World” by Irene Howat and others in the series. There are also “Ten Boys…” books by the same author. These are great mini biographies of missionaries and other Christians from history.
