Welcome to the Wide Reading Website. The eighty or so books here have been tried and tested by Newington students for three years now. About fifty others have tried to get this far and failed, because people like you tell us you haven’t liked them enough… and so we threw them off the list. The books that remain are here because people like you have said they are good, not because teachers think they are good for you.

If you like any book you pick, keep reading. If you don’t like it, take it back and get something else.

Have a good time reading.

PK.
