Welcome to The Literally Brilliant Book Award
We are passionate about reading, and connecting children to new authors and their books. So in 2024 we launched a reading scheme and award for primary schools to join in with.
In October 2024 we announced the shortlist for the award to be decided in the summer term of 2025, it promises to be another great year of reading.
What you need to know...
The 2025 shortlist
These books were our favourites - but which was yours?
All of them are by first time authors and were published in 2024 for readers in year 3 to 6.
How to get involved
The Brilliant Book Award goes to the favourite book as decided by children.
Read the books and vote for the ones you like the best.
The 2024 Winner
The winner of the 2024 inaugural Brilliant Book Award was Wild Oak by C.C. Harrington.
Chosen by children from a range of schools across the Guildford area, as their favourite from the shortlist, the winner was announced at the award ceremony held on June 26th.
"We would give it five stars, and really really recommend it!"
