I love the stories on this list because they're fun, include tons of illustrations and are almost all under 150 pages long (which are all things new/beginning readers need in a chapter book).

This list is full of books about different kinds of boys: readers, funny dudes, adventurous boys, foodies, and so much more. If your kids are into books with male protagonists, they'll enjoy these delightful books for 8 year olds!
