National Teen Book Club

Sign up your students to connect online with other 11 to 19-year-olds from state schools and colleges for our shared virtual Book Club in partnership with Penguin.

During our live events on Wednesdays 3.30-4.30pm over four weeks, we cover two key elements:

Share a reading experience

Read the same book independently and discuss with peers
in school or college and with other groups of students
across the UK.

Hear from award-winning authors

Gain insights and advice from authors, illustrators, publishers and literary agents – as well as speakers with a passion for reading or links to the book. The final week Q+A session will be with the author of the book we are reading!
