Guys Lit Wire, a site devoted to getting teenage boys to read more, has moved into its second phase - a book fair, coordinated with Powells, to get books into the hands of incarcerated boys in the LA County Juvenile Justice System. You can read more about the effort - and help out - here.
(You can read about my own experience with LA's at-risk youth here.)
This is such an important issue and one that interests me personally (as the mother of 11 and 13 year old boys) so thanks for making me aware of the bookfair. Another good site is guysread.com that kids' author Jon Sczieska put together. His Guys Read book of essays by guy writers is hilarious too.
