Plenty of glossy talk in the children’s book world lately about “transformational” growth and market-shaping reach. Ubersuggest’s June 2026 data gives an independent 3rd party picture: School Reading List is estimated at ~68K UK organic visits, ahead of similar sites. We don’t charge for coverage.

We were asked for an “URGENT: Right of Reply” comment by The Sun newspaper regarding our recommendation of Nothing Ever Happens Here by Sarah Hagger-Holt for Year 6 readers. (schoolreadinglist.co.uk/reading-list...) Below is the exact text of our response sent on 21 March 2026:

Nothing Ever Happens Here is published by Usborne and marketed for readers aged 9+. It was included in BookTrust’s 2020 Great Books Guide for 10 to 11-year-olds and was nominated for the Carnegie Medal 2021. BookTrust gives it a reading age of 10+ and an interest age of 11 to 14. Sarah Hagger-Holt, a two-time Little Rebels Award winner, also offers school events featuring this book for Years 6-8.
Our recommendation for Year 6 was based on those published age and school-reading indicators, as well as our own editorial judgement. We take age suitability seriously and base recommendations on publisher guidance, reading level, theme and established reviewing standards.
We stand by our review and our decision to recommend it for Year 6 readers.
