We were delighted to be accepted as a judging panel for The Royal Society Young People’s Book Prize. Every year young people from across the UK are invited to pick a winner from a shortlist of six fantastic science books written in the previous year.

The aim is to inspire young people to read about science and promote the writing of excellent, accessible STEM books for under-14s. The prize is unique in that the winner is selected by judging panels made up of young people across the country.

So far we have received the six brilliant books and recruited a judging panel.

Judging has commenced and our panel members, Beth W, Fatimah, Kaitlyn, Beth P, Alicja and Rebecca have been devoting their lunchtimes this week to reviewing each of the books.
