Win a £250/€250 National Book Token for an awesome young adult

National Book Tokens gift cards

Win one of five £250/€250 National Book Tokens for someone aged 16 to 24.

Young adults don't just need books, they 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 are fun and help them to relax, and books that help them learn to do things for themselves. That's where National Book Tokens come in.

Whether they're obsessed with fantasy novels or Victorian literature, are studying at school or university, or are in need of the perfect veggie recipe book, National Book Tokens empower young people to choose just the right books for them – whatever their vibe!
