Over to you! If you’ve read a good book recently why not post a review of it here on the site under Book Reviews. Convince me why I should read it if you liked it, or tell me why I should avoid it if you hated it! Who wants to go first????
Last week the Celebration Day for the Bay Book Award (aka the BABA’s) 2007 finally took place. After weeks of reading, discussing, arguing and a close call with a food fight; the Library reading group placed their vote alongside many other schools from Neath, Port Talbot and Swansea. The final event was held at the Taliesin Theatre at the Uni and was a prestigous affair, including an opera (performed superbly by Gwyrosydd Junior School) and even the local AM! Although our pupils argued their case convincingly for North Child by Edith Pattou, it was Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin that took the gold. (We’ll get ‘em next yeah guys!!)
If you’re at a loss over the summer holidays, why not try one of the nominees and see what you think, they are all available from your local library. Others on the list were The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate Di Camillo, The Boy in the Striped Pyjama’s by John Boyne and Alone on a Wide, Wide Sea by Michael Morpurgo.
