If you have spent most of the Easter break with your nose in a book getting ready for World Book Day on April 23, and have already managed to make your way through our first list of 25 must reads, here are 25 more books you can get stuck into. If you have any books you think should be on the list or you would like to see in next week's list, leave a comment below.

We would love to see your creative costumes, so if you have been inspired to dress up, take lots of photos, and tag us @youngposthk on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, using the hashtags #YPreads, #YPWorldBookDay and #YPinCharacter.
