The Official Rite of Passage Book List for Guys

So my son just turned 13 and to mark his transition from boyhood to manhood, he has a new bookshelf of YA novels he now gets to read. I asked people on Facebook, Twitter, and my blog to help me create a reading list for this, his first year of teendom.

The Go-To authors of choice for new teen guys? M.T. Anderson and Chris Crutcher. I can't wait to introduce my new teen to them.
