What we learned was that boys were not interested in a girl’s story, but that girls enjoyed the boys adventures and mysteries that we produced for rental.<BR/><BR/>This was the template that I used in writing my books for boys. And the result has been that reluctant reader boys as well as avid boy readers, girls, and even adults have been attracted to my books.<BR/><BR/>You do raise a good point, James, that should always be kept in mind.
