Welcome to the conference bookshop for YLG's Virtual Conference!

Books on this list are sorted by speaker's position in the conference programme, then by title.

If a title is marked on this site as 'Backorder' it means that the title is not currently in stock at our wholesaler. This means if you order it there will be a five-week window in which the order will hopefully be fulfilled. If the order is not fulfilled in five weeks, it will be cancelled and you will be refunded. If this is not convenient for you, please get in touch with Norfolk Children's Book Centre directly, as we may have copies of that title in our shop stock, or we may be able to order them direct from the publisher, which will work out much quicker. Please phone us on 01263761402 or email [email protected] with any enquiries.
