The winning book will be picked from a shortlist chosen with the help of an expert adult panel of educationalists and scientists.
The young people from Year 6 will be among over one thousand children from schools and youth groups across the UK who will help choose a winning science book. As part of an innovative judging process the winner will be selected entirely by the young people themselves. Each judging panel will choose a winner from six shortlisted books and submit their vote. The votes are then collated by the Royal Society and the book with the most votes will win the prize.
