Popular authors

It’s wonderful to see popular classic children's authors; Roald Dahl, JK Rowling, David Walliams, Michael Morpurgo, as well as more recent popular authors RJ Palacio (‘Wonder’), Suzanne Collins (‘Hunger Games’) and Jeff Kinney (‘Wimpy Kid).

School curriculum titles

The curriculum titles are perennial favourites; ‘An Inspector Calls’ (number three), ‘Of Mice and Men’ (number six), ‘The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas’ (number seven). Other versions and editions of these titles also feature in the top one hundred. Great to also see a reading scheme title or two, with the ever-popular Oxford Reading Tree series of ‘Biff, Chip and Kipper’ (number 61).

GCSE revision titles featured with a GCSE Geography AQA title in our top 30. A couple of our most popular accessible images also made it, with our tactile and large print versions of 'The Periodic Table' (numbers seventy and eighty-one).

Anything unexpected?

A definite children’s pick at number 100 is  ‘Fortnite for Dummies’, can you hear every parent and teacher groan while our younger readers are cheering?
