Do you love children’s books? Are you passionate about inspiring young readers? The Reading Agency is inviting to join an expert panel of readers this winter to help shape the 2025 Summer Reading Challenge Book Collection!
The Reading Agency releases a themed Book Collection for the Summer Reading Challenge every year. This list provides inspiration for children aged 4-11 and includes fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and graphic novels.
As a panellist, you’ll have the unique opportunity to preview a selection of titles, including picture books, early readers, and middle-grade novels (provided as online PDFs). Many of these books are brand new or not yet released, making this a fantastic chance to discover the latest children’s literature.
If you could fit some exciting new books into your winter break, just fill in this 3-min form by 1 December.
