Too many boys do not like to read, are choosing not to read, and are suffering academically as a result. All concerned adults need to redouble their efforts to ensure that boys who bring the greatest challenges to our classrooms and schools receive responsive literacy texts and practices to increase their chances for academic, personal, and occupational success. This book is more than a compendium of techniques, it also provides an analysis of the research literature on central issues and related aspects of literacy and learning for boys. The author identifies issues that impinge on boys' literacy development and explores what the research literature has to say about these issues. The descriptions of how teachers have used engaging texts and practices to help boys overcome low literacy engagement and skill in order to stay on course as readers and writers are highly informative and practical as models of best practice.

In dit boek is geen vraag te groot, te klein, te beschamend of taboe. In deze baanbrekende, eerlijke gids richt de schrijver zich rechtstreeks tot tienerjongens en beantwoordt al hun vragen over liefde en seks. Ook jongens zijn soms onzeker over hun lichaam. Chavez Perez helpt ze respectvol om te gaan met gevoelens en verlangens, van zichzelf en van anderen. ‘Respect’ is hét seksboek voor jongens die net de puberteit bereikt hebben en voor jonge mannen die graag meer willen leren. En voor hun ouders, die het belangrijk vinden om seks bespreekbaar te maken, maar niet altijd weten hoe. (flaptekst)

La journée de Jean, Titi et Jules avait pourtant bien commencée : Jules avait récupéré des pétards « mammouth » pour faire sauter des bouses de vaches bien fraîches. Après, les choses s’étaient gâtées : les trois enfants sont tombés sur les frères Ardaillou, fermiers, bouilleurs de cru, qui ont trouvé amusant de les faire boire ! Forcément à 8 ans, quand on est ivres, l’envie de libérer des vaches de leur enclos sur la route est très tentante ! Les vaches des Ardaillou justement… avant de rentrer chez eux, sans plus se soucier des conséquences… Malheureusement, peu de temps après, l’un des frères Ardaillou, qui a quitté son alambic et pris sa camionnette pour aller au village, est mort dans un accident en percutant sa vache… Pour les trois enfants, une seule question se pose : est-ce qu’ils sont devenus des assassins ? Et va-t-on leur couper la tête ?

Young Arturo grows up in near-isolation on the island of Procida in the Bay of Naples. His mother died in childbirth and his wayward father, who left him as a child in the care of a servant on the island, returns only sporadically. Cut off from the island community, Arturo exists almost entirely in solitude: he roams the island with his beloved dog, sails in his boat and reads tales of virtuous heroes and adventurers whom he imagines resemble his father. The boy's world is upended when his father arrives from Naples with his new wife Nunziata, who at sixteen is only a few years older than Arturo. Their presence shatters his childhood idyll, awakening passionate feelings and drawing the family towards painful conflict.
