Many pupils can read but struggle to sustain it. Adam Lancaster – @Real_Lanc – argues that the issue is not skills but conditions. He explains how #schools can rebuild reading engagement by focusing on a range of specific barriers: ow.ly/JtWF50ZX5q0 #teaching #literacy

If you want mystery with glamour, secrets, puzzles, and serious page-turning energy, this is the one.
In Episode 1 of The Book Stack, I talk about why The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is such a strong modern curveball in the mystery space.
It’s twisty, addictive, and exactly the kind of book that keeps readers saying “just one more chapter”.

Some mysteries don’t just entertain; they make readers think.
In Episode 1 of The Book Stack, I talk about why The London Eye Mystery by Siobhan Dowd remains such a smart, compelling mystery for young readers: precise, inventive, and built on real noticing.
A brilliant choice for readers who love pattern, logic, and books that respect their intelligence.

If you want a gateway mystery that makes readers feel clever from page one, this is it.
In Episode 1 of The Book Stack, I talk about why Murder Most Unladylike by Robin Stevens is such a brilliant entry point into the mystery genre for younger readers.
Fast, funny, sharp, and full of energy; the kind of book that turns “I’m not really a reader” into “Have you got the next one?”

Episode 1 of The Book Stack is live.
We’re starting with Mystery & Detective; the genre that so often turns “I don’t read” into “just one more chapter.”

A mystery that turns the reader into the detective? Instantly interesting.
In Episode 1 of The Book Stack, I talk about YOU vs The Poison Plot by Josh Hicks as the Fresh Drop from the episode; interactive, inventive, and a brilliant way to hook readers who want books to feel participatory.
A great reminder that mystery works because it recruits the reader.

The library is often treated as the symbol of reading culture, but its impact isn’t only about stock or access. The library shapes what reading feels like. It can be a sanctuary or a checkpoint, a place of permission or performance.
In this episode of Reading That Sticks, Adam Lancaster (reading expert) reframes the library not simply as a room, but as a condition within a reading ecology. #schoollibrary #reading #books #education

If you only read one mystery from this stack, this is my pick.
In Episode 1 of The Book Stack, I talk about why A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson is such an unstoppable modern YA mystery; tense, addictive, and brilliantly structured.
This is the kind of book that reminds readers just how gripping reading can be.

For readers who like their mysteries with atmosphere, cold cases, and a slower burn, this is a brilliant one.
In Episode 1 of The Book Stack, I talk about why Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson is such a strong stretch read: layered, clever, and haunting in exactly the right way.
A mystery that trusts the reader and rewards patience.
