I love Charlotte Mason's methodology and belong to several CM Facebook groups. In one of the threads, all the amazing CM mothers offered up fantastic literature titles that feature a male as the protagonist and from the comments, I made a list. Here it is, I hope it helps!
I've put a little asterisk next to the ones that my boys recommend and a double star net to the ones that I loved as a read-aloud to the whole family.
