[quote=Anonymous]I don't know what to say, because almost all my boys' favorite books are on that list. Some of the more light-hearted or just plain cool ones:

Mr. Popper's Penguins
A Long Way from Chicago
The Cricket in Times Square
Charlotte's Web
James and the Giant Peach
Danny the Champion of the World
The Saturdays and the other Melendy books by Elizabeth Enright
The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles
the Narnia books
Harriet the Spy
Holes
Tales of a 4th Grade Nothing
Matilda
From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
D'Aulaire's Greek Myths
My Side of the Mountain
Hatchet

My boys also loved:
Calvin & Hobbes collections
the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series
Tintin books
The Great Brain series
Gone-Away Lake and Return to Gone-Away
anything by Roald Dahl
Stuart Little
The Trumpet of the Swan

If he likes baseball, The Kid from Tomkinsville and sequels are very good.

The also loved several of the heart-breaking books on the NPR list, but most of those I read aloud to them. I prefer(ed) that for the sadder stuff. I highly recommend Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. One of the best and most powerful books ever written, for adult or child.[/quote]
