Our Young Ambassadors select the books that have shaped them as people
World Book Day (1 March) is a worldwide celebration of authors, illustrators, books, and reading. To mark the occasion, our Young Ambassadors have each selected a book that has made a lasting impression and shaped them as a person. From assassin adventures to coming-of-age dramas – how many have you read?
