Noughties Nostalgia: Lily Allen, Malorie Blackman and Kissin’ Kate Barlow

In honour of World Book Day we’ve collected some of the most iconic reads of our childhood and hopefully yours too. Jake tries to recommend Lord of the Flies to an eleven-year-old and Ella learns that Lemony Snicket is actually a man called Daniel.

The books featured in this week’s STACK:

Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz

Northern Lights by Phillip Pulman

The Poltergoose by Michael Laurence

Holes by Louis Sachar

The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket

Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman

Jake recommends Daniel Handler’s memoir: And Then? And Then? What Else?

Both are obsessed with Lily Allen’s album: West End Girl.

STACK with Jake and Ella is a books podcast helping you cut through the noise to fall in love - and stay in love - with reading. Each fortnight, we’ll be sharing curated lists on a theme of the books that are worth your time.
