If you have Boys who do not like to read, looking at a thick copy of a book is daunting or the picture on the front of Diary of a Wimpy kid is too babyish for them (After all they think they are grown up) Check out Fledgling Jason Steed by Mark A. Cooper. That is book 1 of the series, google it or look it up on Amazon, it¿s very addictive for tweens. It starts many boys reading.
