photo of Oxfam shop and childrenIf you have ever had to move house, or if the adults in your life keep having fits of tidiness, you'll perhaps have been told to sort through your books and keep only the ones you know you'll read again. That's the way old favourites make their way to the charity shop - old favourites who need someone to read and love them.

Someone's old favourite can become someone else's new favourite. Yours, perhaps. So why not go to your local Oxfam shop and find out what is waiting for you there? If you're not sure where your nearest one is, click the Oxfam logo under the frog buttons on the left and you'll be taken on a shop search.

A bookplate is perfect for covering up someone else's name on the book - and then it's all yours for as long as you want it.

Click the Book Reviews frog on the left to see some of Anne Fine's second-hand favourites - books that she found waiting for a good home in charity shops. And she'd love to know about your great charity shop finds, so why not tell us by e-mailing . Just give us the details, along with your first name and age.
