Where sports and video games can mean everything, but working hard in school frequently earns ridicule from “the guys” even as they ask to copy assignments. Books for a Better Life Award WinnerHere is a landmark book that reveals the way boys think and that shows parents, educators and coaches how to reach out and help boys overcome their most common yet difficult challenges -- by the bestselling author who changed our conception of adolescent girls. Do you constantly struggle to pull information from your son, student, or athlete, only to encounter mumbling or evasive assurances such as “It’s nothing” or “I’m good?”  Do you sense that the boy you care about is being bullied, but that he’ll do anything toavoid your “help?”   Have you repeatedly reminded him that schoolwork and chores come before video games only to spy him reaching for the controller as soon as you leave the room? Have you watched with frustration as your boy flounders with girls? Welcome to Boy World.  Boy world is governed by social hierarchies and a powerful set of unwritten rules that have huge implications for your boy’s relationships, his interactions with you, and the man he’ll become.

Where Are Dads in This Book? This book does a great job identifying the roles boys and parents play and provides common-sense approaches for dealing with most situations one will encounter with boys. What is bizarre is that the book does not provide any discussion of the root causes of why "boys are in trouble" (where she presents some truly terrifyingly bad facts about boys; e.g., suicide rate 8x higher than girls). Nor does she offer any substantive discussion of the roles of men in boy's lives, despite the fact that we know male role modeling is key in a boy's life.
