Which character building stories for boys do you recommend for 8 y.o. dss? (more)

[SoCal Sandra]

I have heard about the Boys of Grit series. Any comments?
I have also heard about the Ten Boys series (e.g., Ten Boys that Changed the World) Are these good?
What other character building or Christian adventure stories do you recommend for dss?
TIA

Here are a few: Created for Work (http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?item_no=432003&event=ENETP) and Boyhood and Beyond (http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product/718044061?item_no=432001&event=CF). Thoughts for Young men by JC Ryle, A Faithful Boys Influence by Aunt Friendly, Crown & Covenant Series by Douglas Bond and Ten Boys who Changed the World. These may not exactly be for the age you mentioned but worth looking into. You could look here for more Grace & Truth books (http://www.graceandtruthbooks.com/).

I used Tiger and Tom and Other Stories for Boys, and Bennett's Book of Virtues as read alouds for my older son,
