October 04, 2009: I loved the book. Having a 10 year old son it was nice to see an expert refer to getting back to traditional basics. The chapters on video games was empowering because it can be a battle at times, and being able to share professional information rather than my opinion made a huge difference. A must read for anyone with sons.

May 16, 2009: I was so impressed with Boys Adrift that I purchased 12 additional copies to give to members of our middle school professional learning community at Grand Meadow ISD 495 in Minnesota. I then purchased another 10 copies to give to selected parents and a number of elementary teachers that heard about our book study. As we complete our school year by reading Boys Adrift, we are motivated to conduct some deep reflection on how we are serving boys at Grand Meadow schools. I am convinced that this will promote significant transformational change in how we serve boys and girls in our school next year.
I encourage every school teacher, school administrator, school support staff and parent or guardian of boys to read this book as soon as possible.Joseph E. Brown, Sr.Grand Meadow ISD 495 Superintendentjbrown@gm.k12.mn.us(507) 438-9083 Cell
