[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Percy Jackson, Harry Potter[/quote] Lord of the Ring In fact until recently, pretty much every book.[/quote] That's a good quip. But you apparently haven't been to a bookstore in a couple decades.[/quote] I was at a bookstore last weekend. Girls have been reading books about boys having adventures for centuries. I know I did! Is there some reason that your boy can't enjoy books about girls having adventures? [/quote] Sure, my boy can and does read books about female protagonists. Sometimes a boy protagonist might be a nice change. Some older books haven't held up over time but others have, and nearly all older books were better and more deeply written than the YA books of today, which are written to be read fast and thoughtlessly.
