Looking for fresh ways to engage children and young people with reading?
The Devon Education Services School Library Service has created a growing collection of author-themed booklists and accompanying posters to help schools inspire reading, support independent book choice, and encourage pupils to discover their next favourite author.
Our Explore resources shine a spotlight on some of today's most popular children's and young adult authors, providing curated reading recommendations that can be used in classrooms, libraries, reading corners, and literacy displays.
Featured authors include:
- Cressida Cowell
- David Baddiel
- Emma Carroll
- Hannah Gold
- Jeff Kinney
- J.K. Rowling
- Katie Kirby
- M.G. Leonard
- Matt Goodfellow
- Nadia Shireen
- Onjali Q. Raúf
- Rick Riordan
- Robin Stevens
- Ross Welford
Each author has a dedicated booklist and matching poster, making it easy to create eye-catching displays, support reading for pleasure initiatives, and introduce pupils to new titles linked to authors they already enjoy.
These resources are ideal for:
- School libraries and reading areas
- Classroom book corners
- World Book Day activities
- Reading assemblies
- Literacy events and themed weeks
- Supporting reluctant or developing readers to find books that match their interests
By celebrating well-loved authors and showcasing a range of engaging titles, schools can help pupils broaden their reading horizons and develop a lifelong love of books.
All books featured on our lists can be purchased through the School Library Service. If you would like to order any titles featured within the booklists, please get in touch with the team.
