Essex Book Award - Last week

This Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th, will be your last chance to vote for the books you have read.  We still need your votes even if you haven't managed to read all the titles. Please come to one of the meetings, or if you can't make it come and collect a voting form to fill in.

There will be one final meeting in school to announce the winner - the date will be announced later. And then a chance to go to the School Library Service Headquarters to meet the winning author.

Essex Book Award - Linda Newbery at Great Baddow High School

Thanks to Great Baddow School Librarians for inviting us to Linda's talk, which taught us a lot about the writing process, and how to get your books published - most importantly "nearly every writer starts by being a reader".
