The School Library Association's Information Book Awards shortlist is packed full of mindblowing reads on all kinds of interesting topics - here's how you can get your hands on a set...
To celebrate the 10th year of the SLA Information Book Awards, we've got a set of each of the shortlisted books in each age group for you to win!
The shortlist is a stunning collection of information books covering a diverse range of topics across three age groups. Younger readers are encouraged to explore all the complexities of their feelings, discover the secrets of the ocean in a lovely bedtime book, read all about the unsung heroes of the world and enjoy the wonderfully dreamy illustrations and sense of magic that the moon inspires.
Older readers might enjoy exploring the captivating continent of Africa, finding a new favourite word to add to their vocabulary, meeting new and exciting historical heroes and finding inspiration to do something small every day to change the world with a pocket-sized paperback.
For teens, there's a fascinating compendium of black history and its importance; a guide to feminism, tackling a bold series of questions and issues and breaking feminism down 'beyond a statement t-shirt'; and a beautiful love letter to the natural world, full of meticulously detailed drawings offering a glimpse into the diversity of nature whilst also supporting in-depth research into animals and their habitats.

Lynibis Don't know, I can't remember commenting on this but did have problems trying to enter and gave up. We had lots of comments on Devine chocolate which is still 'bad'.
