Such joy!
We started with the 6-for-£1 subscription and never had any issues. My 9-year-old loved it so much that we signed up for a 12-month subscription. Every Thursday he races home from school because it’s Phoenix delivery day! He even takes it into school to read during quiet time, and now his classmates are all asking to have a look. Thank you for making reading so exciting 🥰
If you’re thinking about the 6 for £1 offer but worried about cancelling, it’s really easy to manage. Just head to the subscription website (not the shop), go to “Manage Subscription,” just click the three lines in the top left corner to find it.
