Our number one bestseller in the last week for children’s titles was The 117-Storey Treehouse by Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton, the latest instalment in their bestselling Treehouse series. With Love Your Bookshop Day just around the corner, we’re hosting a very special and utterly madcap competition for primary school-aged children. Check out the details here – and remember to return your entry form to your local Readings store!

Also in last week’s bestsellers’ list is Suzy Zail’s I Am Change, a tragic yet empowering story, written in consultation with young Ugandan women, about a young girl finding her voice and fighting for justice and change. Our reviewer called it ‘essential reading’ – read the full review here. And for those with little ones who love a giggle, My Unicorn Farts Glitter by Suzanne Barton and Shannon Horsfall is sure to impress. It’s a funny, warm-hearted and often painfully honest tale of sibling love and farty bath-times. Let’s face it, we’ve all been there…

It’s also great to see the latest winner of the Readings Young Adult Book Prize in the bestsellers’ list – Eleni Hale’s Stone Girl. Guest judge Cath Crowley called Stone Girl ‘one of the most compelling YA novels I have read in a long time.’ And finally, Graveyard Shift in Ghost Town, currently number 9 on the list of last week’s bestsellers, is a spookily entertaining thrill-ride of ghostly action and adventure from author Michael Pryor. To be read with all the lights on.
