Heywood Hill’s Teenage Twelve is designed just for teenagers. It celebrates the joy of reading a classic for the first time, as well as the feeling of excitement when encountering a really good freshly published book. 

Teenage readers can find themselves in the no-man’s land between writing for children and adults, and even insatiable young readers often find that they are not sure where to look for their next literary adventure. With Heywood Hill’s Teenage Twelve, your teenager will be gifted not just twelve books over the course of a year, individually chosen just for them based on their age and reading taste, but also the guidance of our fantastic bookselling team to introduce them to books we think they will love. Your teenager should discover new writing to thrill and excite them as they expand their bookish horizons. 

Subscribers can have their consultation at our Mayfair shop with a member of our expert team. They can also choose to have their consultation over the phone, or fill in our online consultation. This enables us to truly tailor every single selection to their specific taste. We endeavour to make the reading consultation a bookish experience which is fun, rewarding, stimulating and informative.

The recipient will receive a welcome pack from us to introduce them to their subscription, including an elegant gift card and welcome letter with next steps. We can also include a hand-written personal message on one of our Heywood Hill postcards. Do pop a message for your recipient in the notes at checkout to include this in the welcome pack.
