Customer Reviews

A new book for boys

Dude! Stories and Stuff for Boys is a great anthology for young readers. The stories are varied and modern, and they provide a wonderful experience for boys to engage in reading---something that is not encouraged enough in our society. I love the stories, and I love how the authors have related to the target audience through their biographies at the end of the book. A thoroughly delightful read!
