YA critics and librarians discuss engaging male readers with nontraditional titles. Colleen Mondor from Guys Lit Wire notes publishers overlook boy interest, while authors like Eric Luper and librarians share strategies from read-alouds to banned-book clubs. Ranger's Apprentice and edgy classics illustrate broad appeal among teens.

Perry sparks two new books as his own hits rise
Texas governor Rick Perry becomes the focus of two new works while his book Fed Up rises into the Amazon top 400 after he declared candidacy. James C. Moore and Jason Stanford plan Adios Mofo criticizing Perry’s governorship, and Sasha Issenberg crafts Rick Perry and his Eggheads about his 2006 re-election campaign. Perry’s Fed Up! climbs the sales ranks following his campaign launch.
