Here is the second half of our list! Some of your asked for Top 3 Favorites for these chapter books. The boys thought I was cruel to restrict them to 3 but they did not hesitate to name them and I was amazed that the three eldest all agreed on at least one book and it was The Green Ember by SD Smith. (Robin Hood, Swallows and Amazons, Wizard of Oz, Penderwicks, Wingfeather Saga, The Good Master, The Magician’s Nephew, The Hobbit and Treasure Island were all mentioned too!)

Thank you for sharing these lists! I have 3 boys and it’s always helpful to hear what other boy families are enjoying to read.

I’m LOVING all these book titles. It’s possible that I might have purchased 15 of the titles immediately from Amazon after reading the first 50…possibly. Ok so I’m currently reading “Mountain Born” by Elizabeth Yates to my kids right now. And I can’t stop telling people about it. It’s about a boy and his lamb and growing up. 😭 so so good.

Thank you! a huge job collating. What I find fascinating is how many ‘girl books’ and I say that tongue in cheek, your boys have included. A valuable lesson to us all
