We all enjoy different sorts of books, but we all love reading and we hope this list gives you some inspiration of new authors, stories and tales to read in 2024.
We’ve also compiled the list by class, scroll down to see the posters we’ve produced for each classroom.
Inspired? We hope so – you can find these books and so many more in our libraries here in Calderdale or many of our local independent bookshops. We’ve also put together a list on Amazon.
