Hi everyone. I am running an afterschool program to support boy's reading. Troy's post with football/soccer themed novels is amazing! Many of my boys enjoy reading Eric Walters novels.

He is Canadian and sets many of his novels in Canada. They fit well into Ontario curriculum topics and are well written. Here are a few titles my class has enjoyed and their basic focus topic:
- Run - Terry Fox
- Elixir - Insulin (Banting & Best)
- We All Fall Down - 9-11
- Shattered - Rwanda
- Trapped in Ice - 1913 Canadian Arctic Expedition
In interested to hear if anyone has other author or novel suggestions for boys in the grade 6-8 range.
