Staying Home? – adventures from your armchair (ages 8-12)

Curated by

Rhian Pritchard

School’s out, and that means our bookshelves are getting the attention they really deserve. We’re digging out and dusting off our all-time favourite adventure novels, settling down with a cup of hot chocolate, and getting ready to be transported. These adventures cross continents and oceans, space and time, and always get you home in time for tea. Whether your taste leans more towards the magical or the mysterious, there’s an adventure for you.
