Young adults love books. They love seeing themselves in the stories they read and discussing their favourite characters with friends. They love books that enable them to experience empathy, understanding, and inclusivity. They love books that provide fun and relaxation, and books that help them do things for themselves. That's where National Book Tokens come in.

Whether they can't get enough of graphic novels, are studying for exams, or need the perfect veggie recipe book, National Book Tokens empower young people to choose just the right books for them – whatever their vibe!

 

And the winners are...

We gave you the chance to win one of four £250/€250 National Book Tokens for someone aged 16-24. Thank you to the thousands of people who nominated an awesome young adult. We're delighted to announce that the winners are...

  • Charlotte Redfern, age 17 from Lancashire, whose favourite authors are Stephen King and Rick Riordan
  • Jack Gillan, age 22 from Hampshire, who loves science fiction and fantasy, especially Neil Gaiman and Leigh Bardugo
  • Faith Eaton, age 16 from Barnsley, whose favourite books are Normal People by Sally Rooney, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid, and The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean.


"Reading has always been a big part of my life and it brings me so much happiness, so winning €250 of National Book Tokens means a lot to me." - Saoirse, winner

"Charlotte danced around the room with happiness when her Mum told her." - Maggie, who nominated her friend's daughter

"Jack would like to spend the book tokens on adventure travel and cookery books (and a gardening book for his mum for Christmas!). He's been teaching himself how to cook and is very keen to learn some new dishes." - Pamela, who nominated her nephew

Congratulations to all four winners – and happy book shopping!
