‘Heartstopper’’s Isaac Is the Bookworm We All Want to Be — See Every Book He Reads in the Netflix Show

The show's resident bibliophile has no barriers when it comes to his TBR

Heartstopper fans know that bookish character Isaac Henderson is the reader we all wish we could be. With tastes ranging from contemporary teen YA to 1,500+ page classics to mind-boggling books about physics theory, it’s clear that the most reserved of Charlie’s friends has no barriers when it comes to his TBR. The show's executive producer Patrick Walters even stated that Isaac, played by Tobie Donovan, “seems to read at the speed of light," making his wide-reading tastes a kind of "running joke" on the show.

If you want to know everything that Isaac has read (at least up through season 2 of the Netflix show, which premiered August 3), check out the full list below:

SEASON ONE

Dune Messiah by Frank Hebert
Frank Herbert’s Dune series is basically science fiction royalty, and its recent movie adaptations, starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, have helped boost the books even more. Dune Messiah, the second of the six-book series, follows protagonist Paul Atreides’ continued reign as Emperor.

The 72nd installation of the popular Japanese manga series has Naruto and Sasuke facing each other in a serious final battle.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
One of a few classics that Isaac reads throughout the series, Austen’s beloved novel about romance and differing social groups is a fitting read as he observes the development of Charlie and Nick’s relationship.

Radio Silence by Alice Oseman
This YA novel by Heartstopper author and show creator Alice Oseman, which Isaac reads at Charlie’s birthday party, perfectly describes teenage anxiety ahead of the college years. It’s also a clever nod to the Oseman literary universe, as Isaac’s character replaced Aled, one of Charlie’s friends and a protagonist in Radio Silence.

Gender Explorers: Our Stories of Growing Up Trans and Changing the World by Juno Roche
This honest collection of interviews with young transgender people, as well as their parents and caregivers, gives insight into their experiences. Isaac's friend Elle (played by Yasmin Finney) is trans, and shares her story throughout the series, too.

Isaac shows that he isn’t afraid to fight against the ongoing climate crisis when he delves into this book by carbon footprint researcher Mike Berners-Lee in the season 1 finale.

SEASON TWO

I Love This Part by Tillie Walden

Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
A YA thriller about two students at an elite school and the anonymous cyber bully who targets them. Bullying, and its mental health effects, are prominent themes throughout Heartstopper.

The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde

Book Lovers by Emily Henry
This bestseller set in the publishing industry follows a book editor and a literary agent in an enemies-to-lovers romance.

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
The first of many books that Isaac reads while on the gang’s post-GCSE trip to Paris, Victor Hugo’s 19th century classic follows former prisoner Jean Valjean and his escapades across France. It’s also an infamously hefty book — over 1,000 pages — which shows Isaac isn’t daunted by a challenge!

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
This short, philosophical French novella tells the tale of a young and curious prince from a different planet. The story and its illustrations have long been beloved by readers of all ages.

The Awakening by Kate Chopin

We Are Okay by Nina Lacour

Where’s Wally: The Great Picture Hunt by Martin Handford
Isaac, Nick and Charlie peruse this seek-and-find book together. A childhood staple that we’ve all owned at one point or another (though Wally might have a different name depending on what country you’re from.)
