There's No Such Thing as a "Girl Book"!

When was the last time anyone said girls shouldn't have to read books about boys? But books by and about women are regularly dismissed because "boys don't like to read 'girl books'." It's sexist. It's infuriating. And it's a disservice to the boys who miss out on some of the greatest works of fiction ever written! Here's a list of books boys aren't supposed to like... but they should read anyway!
