We’ve created this page to inspire you to read loads over the Summer! We hope you’ll find new stories to love and new ways of reading to enjoy!

For each week of the Summer Holiday, we will share with you a story we think you will love and some activities you could have a go at to step even further into the story!

We will also share a Staycation Reading Idea of the week for you to have a go at! Please send us your photos when you try them out – we can’t wait to see them!
