This paper investigates, from the materiality and the content of the books of a corpus composed of children and youth bestsellers, what are the editorial elements that potentially contribute to the editorial success of a book for boys between 8 and 12 years old. The purpose of this study is to contribute to a greater understanding of the motivations of these children and pre-adolescents of the male sex for reading, in order to subsidize the curatorship of foreign titles for publication in the Brazilian market and the production of national titles for this public.Downloads
