And the winner is …
Y10 students have been reading and then judging the North East Teenage Book Awards and last night saw them attend the Awards Party where the winner was announced. When the golden envelope was opened the eventual winner, after a very very close call, was ‘A Little in Love’ by Susan Fletcher. This is actually Eponine’s Story from Les Miserables.
Students from 18 schools across the region listened to 5 of the 6 shortlisted authors talk about their books and their writing and were able to meet them informally afterwards and have their books signed with a personal note.
Come along to the LRC and choose one of your favourites from the shortlist to read.
After a good evening that included much eating of crisps and drinking of pop and juice we eventually left to do it all over again with our Y7 students in the Summer Term.
Mmmmm, I wonder who will be on this shortlist – I suppose I will just have to be patient and wait!!
