The Your Kid\u2019s Next Read community<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0now comprises 36,000+ members \u2013 and it\u2019s growing every day! Each year, we ask the group to share their young readers\u2019 favourite reads of the previous 12 months.<\/p>\n

As is the case each year, some of these books were published in 2024, some were not. There are always new books that bubble to the top straight away, and there are always older books that rediscovered by a new group of readers every year.<\/p>\n

Once again, I\u2019ve broken the lists into categories:\u00a0picture books<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0early chapter books (5-7)<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0junior fiction (6-9)<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0middle grade (9-13)<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0young adult (14+)<\/strong><\/a>. (NB: There is always crossover, particularly across ages 7-10, as readers develop at their own pace and to their own level of interest, but I\u2019ve done my best to place the books according to expected independent reading age.)<\/p>\n

Stand by also for Team YKNR\u2019s favourite reads in 2024, coming soon.<\/p>\n

These lists are great starting points when you\u2019re looking for the next great read for your kid\/s. Click the title to find out more about each book*.<\/p>\n
