"Teacher after teacher today is throwing up her or his hands saying, 'They just won’t read.' There’s a reason for it. Ask the boys. They know. They’ll tell you, although sometimes not eloquently. Don’t write off the male students because they tell you 'the book sucks.' Often, they’re right. At least it did as a tool to teach boys to read and to love doing so." (Kevin R. St. Jarre, English Journal, January 2008, 15-16)
