The Teenage Book list is selected annually by librarians from the Schools Library Service and secondary schools, and is a list of recommended fiction to buy for your school library.
The teen list represents a selection of the best new fiction first published in paperback within the last 12 months, and covers a diverse range of subjects, genres, authors and interests.
Titles from the Teen and Primary lists will be chosen for the Tower Hamlets Book Award short list in June. Remember to let us know if you want to participate in this event!
Posters for the 2026 booklists will be delivered to subscribing schools. Please contact the library for more information on the Teen List or to request additional posters (subscribing schools only – subject to availability).
