We're delighted to have read and loved these books over the last few months. Seeing as we can't offer them to you in our real bookshop at events, please do share your love for these writers by buying them from Waterstones or hive.co.uk. 

​

Waterstones have been our festival bookshop for years, and always support not just the festival but local authors throughout the year.

​

Hive.co.uk allows you to nominate a local independent bookshop which then receives 10% of the book sale. We recommend The Bookshop on the Green in Bournville, which will help support the Bournville Children's Book Festival.
