Red House Children's Book Award Winners for 2007
The Red House Children's Book Award is awarded annually in three categories, and is judged entirely by children from shortlist to final overall Winner. Throughout the voting process OLCSS students were encouraged to vote for new books they had been reading. Once the Top 10 was announced, some went on to read all of the Top 3 books in the Older Readers category, and many Year 7s and Year 8s had a session in the Library to enjoy and rank the four books in the Younger Children's category.
The 2007 Award Ceremony took place at the Guardian Hay Festival. Two of our students were invited as representatives of the Oxford Testing Group and were seated at Sophie McKenzie's table. Look out for their report in the next issue of our school newsletter, Newsdesk.
The Overall Winner was:
You're a Bad Man, Mr Gum! by Andy Stanton
in the Category for Younger Readers.
The other Category Winners were:
Girl Missing by Sophie McKenzie
in the Category for Older Readers
and
Who's in the Loo? by Jeanne Willis & Adrian Reynolds
in the Category for Younger Children.
