Riveting Reads: Boys into Books 11-14
by Eileen Armstrong
ISBN 9781903446409 · 2007
£0.00 (SLA Members £0.00)

This latest title in our Riveting Reads series has been specially commissioned by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES), responsible for schools in England, to support the reading needs of boys in Key Stage 3. The Boys into Books project aims to provide information about titles which might attract and enthuse boys of 11-14 about reading for pleasure, and is funded by the DfES.

The booklist is available exclusively online here on the SLA website as a searchable database and also as a downloadable PDF version. Between mid May and mid September 2007, state schools in England having at least 20 boys of this age group were also able to order 20 titles from the list free of charge, and also two sets of three Boys into Books posters and 450 postcards, which can still be downloaded online.

Riveting Reads 16-19 Part 1
by Eileen Armstrong
ISBN 9781903446362 · February 2007
Free to SLA Members

Here is the opportunity to catch up on a range of outstanding mainstream fiction suitable for 16+ students. With her usual flair and expertise, Eileen Armstrong has produced some superb annotations for challenging, exciting and thought-provoking reads.

This list, which is being released in two parts, is an essential reference tool for all school librarians serving the needs of 16+ students, and covers a whole range of fiction suitable for the 16-19 age group.

This is the first of several occasional publications to be produced for the SLA's website rather than in the well-known Riveting Reads booklet format. It is available (to SLA members only) for reading online (allowing the additional possibilities of searching, sorting and filtering) or for download in PDF format.
