Quick Reads are short books and great stories by bestselling authors. They’re specifically written to engage emergent, reluctant and lapsed readers to help spread the joy of reading and the many benefits it brings. 

Quick Reads are perfect for using as a whole group college, workplace, prison or community read as they have wide appeal and are accessible to a broad range of reading abilities. We also recommend for anyone who struggles with reading, for a variety of reasons including dementia, brain injury recovery, attention deficit, dyslexia and other reasons.

Orders will be shipped after publication day on 11 April 2025. This means that they can be given out for World Book Night on 23 April 2025. Find out how you can join in the World Book Night celebration

Keep an eye on the Quick Reads resources database for learning resources, social media assets, toolkits and discussion guides. Find out more about the 2025 authors and titles.

**Order details including contact information will be used for delivery purposes only via our 3rd party supplier. This offer is available in the UK only.
