Fantastic Book Awards

The Fantastic Book Awards (FBA) inspires reading for children aged nine to eleven years.

FBA is an exciting opportunity for children to meet, discuss and share views about their reading in an informal way, and vote for one of the five books they consider to be an FBA Winner.

For more information please get in touch.

"We have found the FBA inspiring and it has encouraged us to read more. We have had the opportunity to read books that we might not have chosen before. We liked doing the activities based on the books."
