Explore the Ready, Set, Read! Book Collection
Get ready for a whole load of team spirit, your fave sporty (or not!) heroes, and plenty of fun with our latest collection for the 2023 sports and games themed Summer Reading Challenge: Ready, Set, Read!
Each book has been specially chosen by an expert group of readers for everybody taking part to enjoy.
Lots of these titles are also available for you to enjoy – for free! – through your local library service. Visit your local library’s website or app to browse their online catalogue.
Your library may be offering a Click and Collect service, so you can pick your books up to enjoy at home. Keep an eye out for eBook and audio book versions too.
You can find a handy guide to accessing books at home on our Find a Read page here.
