This is the second programme in the new series about books and reading. The series is presented by author, poet and broadcaster Michael Rosen.
Each week's programme features interviews with authors and tips from teachers on how to use books in the classroom as well as informative discussion groups.
This week's programme features:
- Kevin Brooks, a former rock musician turned teenage fiction writer. We see Kevin on a school book signing tour promoting his latest work, "Candy"
- Students at one school picking the books they want to read, including stunning debut novel Gathering Light by Jennifer Donnelly and an old classic, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
- Award-winning author Meg Rosoff talks about what inspired her crossover novel, How I Live Now, a teenage love story set amid a third world war in Britain
