Welcome to The Literally Brilliant Book Award
We are passionate about reading, and connecting children to new authors and their books. So in 2024 we launched a reading scheme and award for primary schools to join in with.
In October 2024 we announced the shortlist for the award to be decided in the summer term of 2025, it promises to be another great year of reading.
