It is preferable if children attending the Group have read the books in advance so as to facilitate conversation.

About the Children’s Reading Group
The Children’s Reading Group is aimed primarily at primary school pupils in years 5 and 6 (10 to 12 year-olds) and will meet monthly during term time at Costa Coffee Arabian Ranches (venue subject to change) to discuss books by authors who will attend the 2017 Emirates Airline Festival of Literature. Costa Arabian Ranches can be found at the main entrance to the shopping centre.
Books will be available from Bookworm Bookshop at the Safa Centre on Al Wasl Road.
