Dads ‘N’ Lads
We have compiled this list of books keeping in mind that, boys in their pre or early teens are often uncertain of what books and authors are available.
Some of the titles in this collection are the first parts of trilogies. If you enjoy the first book why not read the others?
Choose from stories about the world’s most successful fourteen year old spy in Horowitz’s Stormbreaker or read why growing up fast is a necessity for survival in Reaching the Heights.
The New Policeman, the award-winning book by Kate Thompson is also featured.
We hope that these recommendations will offer all Lads and their Dads a captivating and exciting range of books to choose from.
In these book promotions, readers are provided with reviews of the relevant titles, ensuring a suitable and enjoyable read according to one’s choice. Each promotion has an average of twenty-five carefully selected titles. Multiple copies of these - in paperback generally - are displayed together in prominent position on tables, similar to supermarket policy for ‘special offers’ or bookshop display for lead titles/bargain books. This informal display is undoubtedly part of the success of the venture. Each promotion is circulated in turn - for a period of three months - to our branch library network, ensuring a continuous supply of fresh promotions. Once a promotion has “done the rounds” of our branch libraries the books are released into the general system.
