Here's help in selecting current, nonfiction books that will get boys excited about reading.
Enticing boys to read is still a hot topic. With chapters like "Disasters and Mysteries," "Gross and Disgusting," "Machines and the Military," and "Prehistoric Creatures," Gotcha Again for Guys!: More Nonfiction Books to Get Boys Excited about Reading is a treasure trove of recent nonfiction books that will interest boys in grades 3-8.
This sixth entry in Baxter and Kochel's Gotcha series covers books published between 2007 and 2009, with a few oldies-but-goodies also included. The book is organized into 12 thematic chapters, each of which offers booktalks for a select number of titles, followed by a list of other high-interest, well-reviewed titles that correspond with the chapter's topic. Features new to this volume include numerous booklists to be copied and saved, as well as profiles of new and innovative nonfiction authors writing for this age group. In addition, the book features interviews with seven male authors of nonfiction books for boys.
Kathleen A. Baxter is a children's literature consultant, longtime School Library Journal columnist, nationally known presenter, and a promoter for letting boys read the books that appeal to them.
Marcia Agness Kochel is a middle school media specialist residing in Atlanta who reviews nonfiction books for School Library Journal and served on the 2006 Sibert Committee.
