>> Young Bond
Fast Show co-creator Charlie Higson's is the author of these books chronicling the 1930s adventures of a teenage James Bond during his Eton school days. The first two books are already firm favourites at Website of the Day Towers (especially with almost-11-year-old-Henry!) so we were excited to learn that the books' official site is inviting readers to vote on the title of the fortcoming third book in the series. You have until November 3rd to place your vote; Also on the site you'll find animated adventure games based on the first two books and details of a mobile game. See also:

Hi there! Getting readers to vote for a title sounds like a great way to generate interest in the book! I must look out for it!
Another kids' book I discovered with a novel way to engage readers is: "Justin Thyme". The official website is running a competition for readers/visitors to detect the author's identity, apparently he or she is a well-known children's author using a mysterious pseudonym. There's a complicated trail of clues to follow; perhaps Henry might like to take a look!
