My Next Book

Every child already knows what they love. We help turn that into a lifelong love of reading.

My Next Book is an AI Reading Advisor for Next Gen that turns what children already enjoy into personalised book advice, aligned to real curriculum outcomes — one that understands how children think, what they enjoy, and how they naturally engage with stories.

Each reading choice refines the system. Over time, it learns their taste with increasing accuracy, helping them discover books they would not have found on their own.

  • Built for families who want reading to feel natural, not forced.
  • Designed to align enjoyment with real academic growth through the Australian Curriculum.

Every child has a book they will love. My Next Book helps them find it sooner.

How it works

From what they love to what they'll read next.

01

Tell us what they love to read

Share the books they've recently finished. A few quick entries are all we need to begin.

02

AI advises your next reads

Our AI analyses those reads and advises similar titles from a curated, Australian Curriculum-aligned catalogue you can borrow or buy locally.

03

We do not collect personal information

No personal details required. Children sign in with a made-up username; we do not request names, emails, tracking or ads.

Why we built it

Real stories from our family.

Our daughter

She read only picture books and comics through Year 3 and was falling behind at school. Tutors kept saying the same thing: more reading, more vocabulary. Nothing clicked until we followed her interest in the Warcraft world. Starting with comics, she moved to the Warcraft novels and, within a couple of terms, her English and vocabulary improved dramatically. Today she's excelling academically and preparing for senior school — and My Next Book is the tool we're building to support her VCE journey.

Our son

He wasn't a reader in Year 2. The Warcraft novels that worked for his sister didn't resonate with him. We tried a science-adventure series that matched his curiosity, and that was his gateway. Once the habit formed, he progressed to authors like John Flanagan and Rick Riordan and is now among the top students in his class.

Most children don't dislike reading. They just haven't found the right book. Our mission is simple: use AI to identify the books a child will actually enjoy, then guide them to titles that quietly build vocabulary, confidence and curriculum skills. — R.G. & W.P.

From reading worlds to story worlds

Paulie's Adventure Diary.

What happens when storytelling continues beyond reading — a child's own adventures, written down and brought to life as their very own book.
