Book Review Competition

Book review competition for pupils aged 11 – 16. Do you think you could read a whole book by the end of January? I am looking for pupils to take part in a book review competition for the Scottish Children’s Book Awards. To take part, you’ll have to read one of this year’s nominated titles and complete a short book review. There’ll be a small prize for the best review from KA and all reviews will be entered into the national competition for another chance to win. Collect a book and an entry form from the school library this week. Deadline Friday 29th January. Book club members who have already read the books are welcome to enter.
