Books have a certain magic about them. We can look to them to help us understand the world, our friends and our own feelings. The Young Minds charity aims to improve the mental health and well being of children and young people. They have launched a book award which will celebrate books (either fiction or biography) for young people aged 12+ which helps them to cope with the stresses and challenges of growing up. You can see the shortlist of books here.
If you want a chance to win them, all you have to do is enter a competition on the National Year of Reading site. Just describe a time when reading a book helped you to feel better.
The competition closes on the 14th of November, 2008
