Reluctant Readers

Reluctant readers aren’t children who can’t read, but those who aren’t yet engaged or motivated by reading. We offer large selections of books that are carefully broken down into key stages to ensure they are age-appropriate and designed to capture the interest of these readers. These books are typically quicker reads with high-interest themes, making them ideal for reluctant readers who may find longer, text-heavy novels overwhelming.

Our collection includes a variety of exciting genres, including horror stories by Michael Dahl and many titles from the renowned Barrington Stoke, known for their accessibility and appeal to reluctant readers. These books are perfect for encouraging reading through fast-paced, engaging stories that keep young readers hooked.
