Oak National Academy and the National Literacy Trust have come together to launch our Virtual School Library to keep children reading during lockdown.

Every week, a popular children's author will become our 'Author of the Week' and provide a free book or audiobook and exclusive videos and activities aimed at primary school children, all available at library.thenational.academy.

This week, the featured author is Nizrana Farook, who talks about her favourite character creations, offers exclusive activities and recommends her top reads to check out. The Girl Who Stole an Elephant is also available to read for free for a week.
