There is a fantastic opportunity for reading groups with young people (aged 13+) this autumn. Hachette Children's UK are offering 10 groups the chance to read and discuss #RunRiot, the first YA novel from editor/author of #TheGoodImmigrant, Nikesh Shukla. The groups will be asked to create an interactive display about how young people can make a positive difference in their community.
Each group will receive 10 copies of the book and resources to help you create the display – plus a bonus copy of Nikesh’s non-fiction book #WhatIsRace?

We have won a number of sets of books for our Reading Group, and have enjoyed most of them. Our latest books have been Hell's Gate by Laurent Gaude and The Boy Who Gave His Heart Away by Cole Moreton. Both of the books would not have come our way, had it not been for "Reading Groups for Everyone."

Thank you The Reading Agency. Our group, the Lydney WI Book Club have been lucky enough to received quite a few book sets. Two of our favourite have been The House on Cocoa Beach by Beatriz Williams and Valley of the Moon by Melanie Gideon. Being members of the Reading Agency has enabled our group to expand our reading choices. 👍

It's a great site
