It might be a better purchase for the school library I work in, as an introduction to YA literature, or for students who aren't sure quite what they feel like reading. It's a great scheme for the Children's Laureate to organise. She has been doing loads for YA, which is fantastic to see.

We're avid readers. It's likely we've already read most of the authors and books included in this anthology. But a lot of young people have no idea where to turn when picking up the next book. So I kind of love that Malorie Blackman is using her influence to say 'looking for a good read? I recommend all the books and authors in this anthology' And the diversity included in this book is amazing. POC, loads of LGBT story lines, different abilities. And the original short stories are amazing. And it got me to read both How They Met AND Grasshopper Jungle off the back of reading these extracts.
