Welcome to The Rathbones BookBubble

Read, Learn, Discuss.

Get Involved

We have teamed up with HarperCollins to bring the best books for young people to schools across the UK. Students can read and comment with their classmates and other students in our secure digital book club.

Students can access the books in a familiar way – using an app (or a web-reader) which encourages them to keep up with their classmates as each instalment is released. The Rathbones Bookbubble is a social reading experience for students across the country.

What teachers say

The way in which pupils can read regularly, and engage in discussion with their peers all across the country, has been a fantastic way to introduce a whole new love of reading
For our avid readers, the ability to comment on texts brought a new dimension to reading. The staves are inspired - they provide manageable chunks and create a sense of anticipation.
I believe it is an innovative way to introduce reading for pleasure outside of school. Pupils have particularly liked the way it combines technology with reading.
It engaged more students in reading fiction than usual.

What students say

This was the best experience ever!
It was cool to communicate with people around the country who were the same age as us.
It was great to see what other people thought about the book.
It worked well as you had choice on the book you read and you could write feedback on parts that you enjoyed or found interesting.
