Books Every Boy Should Read. I’m trying really hard not to be critical of this list, because there isn’t a single book on the list I would remove. Even the books on that list that I don’t like, I can’t argue that they shouldn’t be on the list. But I really question the effort put into making the list. I rather think they simply found a list somewhere on the internet and said “this would make a good list to publish on our site” and did nothing but cut and paste. This clearly is for boys in general, and not specific to Scouting.
Frankly I can’t believe there isn’t a single entry for Robert Heinlein on the list. Here are just three examples.“Tenderfoot in Space” – tells the story of a boy and his dog who emigrate to Venus and learn, through SCOUTING how to survive in the Venusian wilderness. Serialized in Boy’s Life May, June and July 1. Nothing Ever Happens on the Moon” – tells the story of an Eagle Scout from Colorado who is attempting to become the first “Triple Eagle”, earning his Eagle on Earth, the Moon, and Venus. It was serialized by Boy’s life in April and May 1.
Heinlein Estate and THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA. Yes, the owner of this book did not even list their own book on the list. The one that I’m simply amazed is not on the list is “Farmer in the Sky”. The other two could be excused because they’re technically short stories. This one is a full novel. It tells the story of a boy who is a scout emigrating to Ganymede which is being terraformed for farming. On the way, he helps form a scout troop on the spaceship (and saves the ship too), and when they arrive they find a thriving scout community already in place, which plays a recurring role through the rest of the book.
It was SERIALIZED in Boys Life in August, September, October, and November of 1. While this is a good list, it clearly was made without any thought to the history of Scouting, but rather just a good general list. Otherwise it would not have neglected a book authored by one of the Grandmasters of Science Fiction, which had already been printed in Boy’s Life, where Scouting plays a large and frequent role in the book. Heinlein isn’t the only omission. What about Arthur C. Clarke? What about Donald and Keith Monroe (writing under the name Donald Keith)?
While I applaud your effort to encourage reading, I have to give this particular list in this particular context a failing grade. You’re Boy’s Life. You have a great history of publishing serialized books for boys. To ignore that history when making a list like this is absolutely terrible.
