Our bestselling young adult novel of last week is the first book of Philip Pullman’s new fantasy series, La Belle Sauvage. Set 10 years before Pullman’s original His Dark Materials trilogy, this thrilling tale sees two young people embark on a dangerous trip to save a baby named Lyra whose life is under threat by various shadowy forces. The other young adult novel to appear on this list is One Of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus – a fun, suspense-laden mystery story. Both these novels were voted among our best books of last year.

Bestselling children’s books include the very funny and sweet debut picture book from Zoë Foster Blake (No One Likes a Fart), a truly hilarious adventure with Dog Man (Dog Man and Cat Kid), Jessica Townsend’s smash-hit middle fiction fantasy (Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow) and R.J. Palacio’s much beloved 2012 novel, Wonder.

If you’ve already read and loved Wonder, you might enjoy this collection of suggestions on what to read next.
