Welcome to the second year of Liverpool Reads, where the city will be reading Frank Cottrell Boyce's fantastic novel 'Millions'. We are still celebrating the successes of last year's city-wide reading adventure when Liverpool read Louis Sachar's 'Holes'. With a block-busting film and the CILIP Carnegie Medal 2004 awarded to 'Millions', this year's Liverpool Reads is sure to be an exciting and fun-packed programme!
