The Kids & Teen Summer Book Club 2026 begins!
The summer holidays are coming up which means we're back for another year of holiday reading!
The Porty Books Summer Book Club is here once more to encourage kids to read for pleasure during their summer holidays. This time we've added a brand new challenge intended for teens with different prompts and prizes. Participate by collecting a booklet from the bookshop and completing the bingo board featuring nine different reading prompts.
There’s space in the booklets for a small review for each book read so that these can be shown to a bookseller in exchange for a stamp (this book club is designed for readers aged 4-12 so some readers may need a little bit of help with the reviews). Bring your booklet into the bookshop to get stamps and collect your prizes!
The Summer Book Clubs both begin on Tuesday 23rd June and end on Sunday 9th August.
Join us to celebrate together – we're hosting events throughout the challenge and we would love you to come along! Find more information below or in the Events section of our website.
We’ll be launching the Summer Book Club on Tuesday 23rd June with the help of special guest authors.
On Saturday 18th July, we’ll have a midway check-in. Come along to our Book Swap morning to share what you’ve read so far and bring a book you’ve finished to swap with another book club member.
And finally on Sunday 9th August it’ll be time to wrap up. We’d love to hear what you’ve read and enjoyed, and maybe you could write us some recommendations for some of your favourite books?
You can find our ideas for what to read during the the Kids Summer Book Club and the Teen Summer Book Club in the recommendations section of our website!
