From taking part in school and library events to dressing up as their favourite literary characters, thousands of children celebrated the joy of reading on World Book Day last week (Thursday, March 6).
The day also saw the release of 10 new World Book Day titles, which can be exchanged for the £1 World Book Day book tokens given out by schools.
There are two Young Adult titles on this year’s list – Rock War: The Audition by Robert Muchamore and The Boy in the Smoke by Maureen Johnson.
Robert Muchamore, best known for his bestselling CHERUB series, marked World Book Day by hosting a virtual author event for pupils at his old school – Acland Burghley School in Tufnell Park, north west London.
