That's very sad.

I personally have helped teach "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas", which is technically for below high school level students, but works well with students that struggle to read, and really captures most boys interest. We taught this book to 15-19 year olds, and almost all were reading ahead and were asking about more books along the same lines. They also participated in discussions on the book and (mostly) did the assignments. We considered the book a great success.

Well as long as it gives them a chance to see that there are books out there that they like reading, you can't really ask for more can you
