The current surge in children’s literature has been fueled by talented young female novelists fresh from M.F.A. programs who in earlier times would have been writing midlist adult fiction. Their novels are bought by female editors, stocked by female librarians and taught by female teachers. It’s a cliché but mostly true that while teenage girls will read books about boys, teenage boys will rarely read books with predominately female characters.

#won’t someone write books about boys for the love of god #too bad there aren’t any books about the trials of male young adulthood #man maybe they should add obscure titles like tom sawyer huck finn hamlet lord of the flies and catcher in the rye to every reading list in the country i don’t know why they don’t teach these books in schools!
