This is an interesting selection of books including several my DGC have loved for years and some brand new ones. Anyone in a quandary about what to choose for a present could well start with this list and browse in a bookshop to see what is between the covers.
Many should also be available in libraries, this year many would-be local councillors will find themselves closely questioned about library provision in their areas!

In addition for anyone needing a few more book suggestions, do go to the Barrington Stoke website who also publish books for reluctant and dyslexic children.
