Summer Reading Lists Especially for Boys!

I polled the boys in my classes and these are the books that they came up with:

Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins
Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan
The Warrior's Series by Erin Hunter is a HUGE hit
with boys AND girls in my classes.
There are a TON of books in this series.
There are three series within this series.
So far there are 18 books out.

The first book is Into the Wild.
The Alex Rider Series is also a favorite.
The first book is Stormbreaker. This is an adventure series.
It seems to be very addicting.
Boys LOVE this series. There are 7 books in this series.
BY THE WAY: A student just showed
me today that he is reading the newest
book in this series called Snakehead.

Another author we would recommend would be Gary Paulsen.
He writes adventure books that are excellent.
The whole Brian Robeson series is great.
Start with Hatchet. There are 5 total books in this series.
Gary Paulsen writes a bunch of other books too that the boys really like.


The Island Series by Gordon Korman is another series that boys recommend.
Gordon Korman writes many series books.
These are short books and easy to get into.

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer has 5 or 6 books in the series.
Hope this helps for summer reading!!
Look for a summer reading list especially for girls to appear SOON!

HAPPY READING!!!
