Guys Read
<http://www.guysread.com/>http://www.guysread.com/
Site by Jon Scieszka who wanted to help boys "find stuff they like to
read". The site is edgy and should definitely appeal to boys. The
downloadable posters and bookmarks might get them there as much as he
searchable guides to good story choices.

Official Roald Dahl Web
<http://www.roalddahl.com/>http://www.roalddahl.com/
Lots of fun things for Middle Years students to see and do at Roald Dahl's
site. Who wouldn't want to read his books after playing at this site? Users
have to register. Adults are NOT allowed according to ne cartoon sign that
is waved back and forth on one of the pages. Roald Dahl died (1990) before
the Internet developed as it is. We can only imagine he'd be pleased with
his official web site.
