Waterstones is a British
book retailer that operates 275 stores and employs around 3,500 staff in the UK and Europe. They’ve just announced their Children’s Book
of the Year shortlist and it’s interesting to note that one third of the 18 titles
are tales of young heroes solving a mystery or a murder echoing the world of
authors such as Agatha Christie and Enid Blyton. Waterstones believe there is evidence that
young adult readers are moving away from the fantasy/dystopian/magic stories of
recent years towards more contemporary books. Take a look at the shortlist for 2015 here.
If you're looking for titles for children from babies to teenagers we have a Kid's Reading Guide in store to help. Remember Easter isn't all that far away and a book is a wonderful gift.
