Release radar: new children's books
New and upcoming books for primary school readers that our team thinks are worth knowing about, with a few words from us on each. For more ideas, see our Recommended reads.
About the buy links: if you buy a book through a link on this page, BoomReader earns a small commission from Bookshop.org, at no extra cost to you. Bookshop.org supports independent bookshops. We choose books for children, not for commission.
Coming soon
Books we're looking forward to, with their publication dates. Dates sometimes move.
