Stories for Boys Who Dare to Be Different: True Tales of Amazing Boys Who Changed the World Without Killing Dragons, by Ben Brooks
4.0
This was sent to me as an ARC from Netgalley and the publisher.
I think that the book has a very good concept. It is a book that I enjoyed and is full with the stories of famous and not so famous boys who dared to be different and make something that had an impact on them and on others. It teaches what masculinity means and that you do not have to follow the stereotypes to be a man. On the other hand, I didn't find some of the stories to be inspiring but I thought that the boys on them got a little luckier than others.
The illustrations that accompany the stories are beautiful and they match the stories perfectly.
