The RED Book Award is run by the Learning Resource Service<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The shortlist for this year\u2019s RED Book Award was:<\/span><\/p>\n

Beneath by Gill Arbuthnot<\/span><\/p>\n

Salvage by Keren David<\/span><\/p>\n

Mind Blind by Lari Don<\/span><\/p>\n

Inflicted by Ria Frances<\/span><\/p>\n

All great books which had that important wow factor.<\/span><\/p>\n

The RED award ceremony took place on 29\/1\/16 at the Falkirk Town Hall. 250 young people attended from every secondary school in Falkirk Council. Each school provides a creative interpretation of one of the shortlisted books. The authors enjoy watching their readers deliver their opinion of the books through powerpoint and drama. There was an opportunity for the young people to meet and talk to the authors at the signing table and during the question & answer session. During the ceremony groups of pupils acted as journalists, photographers and a media group interviewed authors and participants for their school radio broadcast and filmed the event. Everyone is encouraged to wear a red accessory which contributes to the fun and energy of the day. It was a wonderful event – a celebration of books and reading culminating in the opening of the red envelope to reveal he winner of the RED Book Award. The winner\u00a0is Mind Blind by Lari Don.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This year we celebrated the 10<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> anniversary of the RED Book Award and to acknowledge this milestone, 10 schools across the world were invited to participate in the Book Award. Copies of the shortlisted books were sent to them and some Falkirk Council pupils were able to skype the young people in other countries to discuss the books. The countries taking part were Australia, China (2 schools), Jamaica, Kenya, Malawi, Malaysia, South Africa, Switzerland and Turkey.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A quilt, featuring all previous RED winners and material from the countries who took part, was made by Anne Ngabia, school librarian at Grangemouth High School, and will act as a fabulous legacy for the RED Book Award.<\/span><\/p>\n
