Carnegie Book Awards

Hello everyone

I was just reading a post where some ladies were saying that they enjoy reading books aimed at teenagers. I do too, my daughter is 15 and she passes on her books to me when she's finished - she introduces me to books I would otherwise not bother with.

I now visit the Carnegie Book Awards website to get ideas for books to buy for her - they really are worth a look. Have just ordered a handful off the new 2009 shortlist.

Has anyone read any yet?

I'm back....a few interesting ideas there but I need to hold the book in my hand and read the first page or so to see if the writing style grabs me.

Did you see the Kate Greenaway Medal page? Our librarian at school, (my pal) has organised through the art class (Me and another pal) for the children to sign their names against the style of illustration that they like the best. Those that have signed against the eventual winner will get a small prize.

I chose one particular book but then after seeing one of the others in Borders, changed my mind. The pictures were beautiful...see: Little Boat. The cover pic doesn't do the inner work justice!

I just love books!!!!

Hello bevvywevvy

I love books too! And I can't keep up with my D's thirst for them. I buy her a selection of the Carnegie finalists each year so that she can have a chance to read different styles. Most of them she enjoys, others not so much but she's always glad she's read them.

Our local library is very good at recommending books to her based on what sort of authors she likes.

Happy reading!
