Puffin has had a big year for books: 2015 saw the release of the second Girl Online novel, the conclusion of Charlie Higson’s The Enemy series, and a striking black edition of the #1 bestselling The Fault in Our Stars, to name just a few. Even though it’s a difficult task, we’ve put together a selection of eight can’t-miss titles for your reading and gifting pleasure. Stop what you’re doing, these are our must-reads!
Just twenty three more sleeps until Christmas and Puffin is looking forward to mince pies, presents, shiny new books, (re-reading dusty old books) and even a couple of Brussels sprouts.
As the windows of advent calendars across the land burst open – some of the brightest and most brilliant authors have had a few early festive surprises. That’s right, the Penguin Office Christmas Secret Santa has begun and Puffin has got a rather excellent, totally exclusive, absolutely behind the scenes, sneaky-peeky video. It seems even grown-up authors get excited about a mysterious box in shiny paper – get ready for wrapping ripping and some absolute crackers.
Starring (in order of appearance):
Sophie Kinsella, Cathy Cassidy, Malorie Blackman, Caitlin Moran, Giovanna Fletcher, Zoe Sugg (aka Zoella), Colm Tóibín, Sebastian Faulks, Graeme Simsion, Simon Mayo, The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas and John Cleese.

It’s been a super exciting week. Zoe Sugg aka YouTube sensation and guinea-pig aficionado Zoella, published her new book Girl Online. Not only can you read it with your eyes but you can also listen to it (with your ears, obviously). That’s because Girl Online is also an audiobook! Actress Hannah Tointon recorded the story downstairs in the Puffin studio – and between chapters she took a break to tell us all about it.
