Reluctant boy readers (key stage 2)

Hi

I am doing some research about boys who are reluctant readers - for any reason not necessarily based on ability. I was hoping to get some feedback from parents about this if you could spare the time.
I have created a website www.realbooksforrealboys.weebly.com
The purpose of this is to allow boys to use it to find a book they may be interested in reading. The books listed can all be read on an iPad with iBooks or a kindle. The idea is this may encourage them to read as they are able to use technology which often makes something more exciting/interesting.
If you could look at the site and post any feedback, I would be very grateful and interested to hear your opinions.

Thank you!

Your site isn't showing up yet on Google. I couldn't access it. Can you post a live link?

Alex Rider is a pretty safe bet for most boys. It cured my son of hating reading. Once he started on Horowitz he never stopped reading.

Horrible Histories, Mr Gum, Wimpy Kid tned to appeal to most boys.

More gentle, imaginative types love How To Train Your Dragon.

Love the idea of your site so am looking forward to it being live.
