As my first year comes to a close as the reviews editor at Just Imagine, working with Nikki Gamble, Director of Just Imagine, and the fantastic book review panel, it seemed a perfect opportunity to ask our book reviewers for their top choices for 2022. As you can imagine, this is never an easy question for avid book readers, but as you’ll see below, they have all delivered some of our many favourite books from this year. Whether you’re a teacher looking for the next book to read aloud to your class or books to support a new theme, a librarian looking for new books to stock your shelves, a parent looking for ideas for Christmas stockings or just your next read, I hope you will find something to inspire and interest you.
