What an awesome idea to interview an actual child/boy about his reading choices. I really like what you said about the stereotype that boys aren't readers. I was a reluctant girl reader, none of the books the girls were reading were interesting to me. Now, I have a granddaughter in the same boat. She's just not a girly-girl, if you know what I mean. Any recommendations?
Hi Pam: Kiki Strike is always good for non girlie girls. Anything by Tamora Pierce as well (if you can get her to read fantasy). If not, I'd try the non-fiction route! Find something she's interested in and head out from there!
