For Boys It was difficult to narrow down my recommended list of books for boys. I would have liked to include books by such popular authors as Jean Craighead George, Gary Paulson, Virginia Hamilton, Robert Cormier, Louis Sachar, and Lawrence Yep. The following novels come highly recommended by colleagues, my grandson, and other experts I know. Most are available in more than one edition. Walter Dean Myers.
Monster takes the form of a movie script written by an imprisoned teen.
The film would be the story of my life. No, not my life, but of this experience. I ll write it down in the notebook they let me keep. I ll call it what the lady prosecutor called me, Monster. Other books by Myers include The Glory Field, Scorpions, and Slam.
