On Thursday June 19th, the Bookaholics – including new members Saruka Jeyaseelan, Julahka Jahan and Zahra Arefa 8E went to Platform in Hornsey Road to take part in the 2013 Islington Carnegie Shadowing award ceremony. The girls have been reading the eight books on the shortlist, and put on a presentation called ‘Take Me Out of the Library,’ based on the TV programme ‘Take Me Out.’ Six girls represented six of the books and presented their case to be selected on a date by the Librarian (Shuma, 10E). Paddy (Amy Coffey) facilitated the presentation.
The event was compered by author of Tall Story, Candy Gourlay.
Other Islington schools put on presentations, powerpoints, videos and it was a very enjoyable afternoon and lovely to see so many students inspired by books. Wonder by RJ Palacio was the overwhelming favourite of the students, but Maggot Moon by Sally Gardner was the national winner.
Congratulations to all those who took part!
