Trailer: Say my Name by James Dawson

Top marks to Jordyn and Jordan in Mrs Mackintosh’s S2 English class for winning first place in the book trailer competition at the Grampian Children’s Book Award. They created a book trailer for shortlisted book Say my Name by James Dawson.

The Grampian Children’s Book Award is judged by S1 – S3 pupils in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray. A lively awards ceremony led by award winning Cathy MacPhail and a panel of 3 of the shortlisted authors (James Dawson, Dave Cousins and Kevin Brooks) kept school pupils from across the region enthralled and entertained at the event at Aberdeen University. Author James Dawson was pronounced 2015 winner to great applause.
