After another exciting and busy year, Team Your Kid’s Next Read<\/strong><\/a> has consulted our brilliant members and compiled book lists based on their recommendations.<\/p>\n

The Your Kid\u2019s Next Read community<\/strong><\/a> now comprises 39,000+ members, connected via our Facebook group<\/strong><\/a>, the Your Kid’s Next Read website<\/a><\/strong>, our podcast<\/strong><\/a> and our monthly newsletter<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n

This year, we also added Facebook<\/strong><\/a> and Instagram<\/strong><\/a> for even more ways to spread the word about incredible books for kids and teens.<\/p>\n

And when we asked the community to share their favourite reads of the previous 12 months, they did not hesitate!<\/p>\n

As is the case each year, some of these books were published in 2025, some were not. There are new books that bubble to the top straight away, and there are always older books that are rediscovered by a new group of readers every year.<\/p>\n

Once again, I\u2019ve broken the lists into categories: picture books<\/strong><\/a>, early chapter books (5-7), junior reads (7-9)<\/strong><\/a>, middle grade (9-13)<\/a><\/strong> and young adult (14+)<\/strong><\/a>. (NB: There is always crossover in these lists, 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.<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Stand by also for Team YKNR\u2019s favourite reads in 2025<\/strong>, coming soon.<\/p>\n

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