From the Publisher:
Odean has done it again! Not only has Kathleen Odean's name become synonymous with selecting the best literature for girls but her recently published Great Books for Boys has become a favorite of librarians as a measuring rod with which to gage the strength of their collections. Parents should feel confident that in this one volume, librarian Kathleen Odean has gone way beyond recommending the obvious sports classics such of Matt Christopher by including Avi's Losers and Myers Me , Mop and The Moondance Kid. Humorous titles that are now must reads for boys such as Douglas Adams The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Jill Pinkwater's Buffalo Brenda round out Odean's recommendations from ghost stories to men and women of history including George Sullivan's Matthew Brady: his Life and Photographs..
