Boy Or Girl Book? My post over at Sleuths, Spies and Alibis...

Should we have gender-specific books, or is it all just nonsense?

Check out my post over at Sleuths, Spies and Alibis on what I learned when marketing Double Vision...

  1. As much as I would like to believe in gender-free books, all of the kids I have known seem to prefer a protagonist of their own sex and theiractivities geared toward it. Somewhere out there must be these boys and girls that would read either book (I am thinking of Brick on THE MIDDLE) but not mine.

  2. I love Brick :-)

    My girls like those pink books (me, not so much...), but they also like the gender-neutral or even boy protagonist stuff. So maybe there's hope yet... I do think girls are more receptive readers sometimes.
