More than 30 children's authors are recommending books to schools via a new penpal scheme.
AuthorPenPals, set up by writer Kate Scott, pairs schools with authors, who send postcards to pupils recommending books they might want to read. The authors commit to taking part for the length of one school year (September to July) and send postcards once a month. In return, the pupils can reply with reactions to the recommended books.
