Win 80 books to celebrate 80 years of Puffin

This competition is now closed

In 1940 the very first Puffin book was published. Since then millions of children have grown-up dreaming of rivers turning to chocolate, talking spiders and Borrowers living under the kitchen table. The chances are, there was a little Puffin dancing across the spine of some of your favourite books.

To celebrate Puffin’s biggest birthday yet, one lucky reader will win 80 books, including this year’s very special birthday book, The Puffin Book of Big Dreams! It’s filled with new stories, poems and illustrations (as well as a few much-loved classics), by brilliant Puffin authors and illustrators like Jacqueline Wilson, Malorie Blackman, Tom Fletcher and Sophy Henn. Ten runners-ups will also receive a copy of The Puffin Book of Big Dreams.

All you need to do to enter is fill in your details below!
