ABSTRACT
Frank is just one of the many boys who benefited from the boys’ writing projects: boys who became more confident and competent writers, and who also became more confident and competent children. So how does this picture of Frank fit with the comment by a colleague who, when he heard that I was writing a book about boys’ writing in the Early Years, asked: ‘Do you mean troublesome boys or all boys? Well, I suppose all boys are troublesome.’
