Book recommendations for reluctant readers

by Maddie Rossmaur || 7 Oct 2016

In honour of #dyslexiaawarenessweek, The Independent has published their pick of the “12 Best Kids’ Books for Dyslexic and Reluctant Readers”.

Featuring some well-known names that we know our secret agents love, like David Walliams, Roald Dahl and Liz Pichon, along with some new authors, like Michelle Magorian’s new spooky story (also the author of Goodnight Mister Tom) and Jonathan Meres, whose style is likened to David Walliams’ and Jeff Kinney’s (author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid).
