Bookzilla

The Bookzilla app is closing

At Scottish Book Trust, we regularly review how we share our book recommendations and inspiration for children and teens to enjoy the benefits of reading for pleasure, and support their lifelong journey with books.

The Bookzilla app will close in October 2025 to allow us to work on the development of our resources.

The Bookzilla app was just one of the ways our charity provides ideas and recommendations for reading for pleasure. Whether you are a teacher, librarian, parent/caregiver or an enthusiastic reader, we have a wealth of book lists, events, training and resources for you to choose from.

About Bookzilla

Bookzilla is a free app for upper primary and early secondary school students in Scotland. The app helps pupils find books to read for pleasure, whether they are already regular readers or just embarking on their reading journey. Young people can receive tailored book recommendations, see what's popular among their classmates and challenge themselves to try something new with a reading dare. The app promotes different featured collections every month. Find out more about how you can use Bookzilla in your school.

Scottish Book Trust has partnered with Browns Books(this link will open in a new window), who have recommended age-appropriate titles for P4–S3 pupils. Gaelic and Scots books are available to browse as well as books in English.
