The Royal Society celebrates the best books that communicate science to young people through our Young People's Book Prize.
Each year expert panel of adult judges panel choose a shortlist of their favourite science books from entries submitted by publishers. Once the six best books have been selected we hand over the task of picking a winner to those who know best – groups of young people under 14 across the UK. These groups can be formed in any setting, from schools and libraries to scouts/brownies, science centres or youth groups. They form their own judging panels, read and discuss the books and submit their verdict to us - together they decide the winner.
