The gorgeous and ever-so-giftable anthology, Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls, is our bestselling children’s book for the third week in a row. We adore this book, and you can find a host of other gift ideas for young feminists here.

Other bestselling books for young people include a brand-new adventure with The Bad Guys from Aaron Blabey (the title ‘intergalactic gas’ made us giggle), Felice Arena’s thrilling wartime adventure story set in Sicily, a memoir from teen dance prodigy Maddie Ziegler and the second book of Rick Riordan’s Trials of Apollo series – perfect for Percy Jackson fans.

Three of the books shortlisted for our Readings Children’s Book Prize also appear here: A Most Magical Girl, Elizabeth and Zenobia and Squishy Taylor and the Bonus Sisters. We’re excited to be announcing this year’s winner tomorrow!
