50 Books Every Child Should Read by Age 16

Roald Dahl is the author that people would most like their children to read, according to a new survey to find 50 books that children should read by the time they are 16.
A survey of 2,000 readers by Sainsbury's to celebrate World Book Day also found that nostalgia reigns supreme, with six in ten parents choosing to read stories to their children that their own parents once read to them.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the list's most-recommended book, and Dahl its most popular author.
