Summary: Boys sometimes have a harder time getting interested in books. One way to solve that is to start a book club for boys only. Laura Blum, mother of 4 and reading advocate, discusses how she turned her reluctant readers into great readers and how you can too! Check out her site and some great ideas at http://bookclub4boysinfo.blogspot.com/2008/12/start-book-club-for-your-boy.html (http://bookclub4boysinfo.blogspot.com/2008/12/start-book-club-for-your-boy.html) UPDATE: Nancy's son and his friends met for the first Boys Only Book Club and about 50% of the kids showed up, but they had fun and Barnes and Noble was very accommodating to help them choose books. They chose Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians (http://www.amazon.com/Alcatraz-Versus-Librarians-Brandon-Sanderson/dp/0439925525/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1276035269&sr=8-1). They will be meeting every 3 weeks over the summer to get them interested in reading. They also joined the Barnes and Noble reading plan, the Borders reading plan and a local library reading plan that all give freebies to kids who read.
