Book hoarders, rejoice! The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale has howled its way back to the UAE. And it’s hungry for your bookshelf space. This time, it’s making itself right at home in Sharjah, setting up camp at Expo Centre Sharjah (Hall 4) from April 23 to May 4, 2025.
But it’s not just about scoring bestsellers for the price of a karak chai (although, yes that’s one of the USPs of this sale). This epic sale is part of the Sharjah Children’s Reading Festival, and it’s on a mission: to turn the next generation into raving book fans. Born in Malaysia in 2009 thanks to BookXcess legends Andrew Yap and Jacqueline Ng, the Big Bad Wolf has prowled through 37 cities in 15 countries – and now it’s back in the UAE to huff, puff, and blow your reading list wide open.
