Publishers across the UK submitted their best recent books that communicate science to young people. An adult judging panel has narrowed down the choice to a shortlist of six books.
The winning book will be selected entirely by groups of young people from schools and youth groups around the UK. These groups together form a judging panel that looks at all the shortlisted books and chooses a winner.

The magic of reality
by Richard Dawkins and illustrated by Dave McKean (Bantam Press) The judges said: “This challenging and thought-provoking book explores how human beings have explored the natural world over time and tackles these ideas in a way that we’ve never seen before. Combining a comprehensive account of science, philosophy and culture with beautiful illustrations, this is an unusual book that adults might well enjoy too.” |
