Nominations are coming in fast and furious for the first ever CCRSB Teen Reader's Choice Award. Teen Reader's Choice is like Hackmatack for students in Grades 7 and up, with a couple of twists. It's the students who nominate books to the Award Committee, which will then come up with a top ten shortlist. The nomination process is wide open -- any book, any genre, any format.
So far, three books are leading the nominations at West Pictou. Ways to Live Forever, by Sally Nicolls, has the most nominations with six. Four people have nominated January, the first book in Gabrielle Lord's Conspiracy 365 series. The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, has two nominations.
Curious about which books students are nominating at other schools? Check out the CCRSB Teen Reader's Choice Award blog to find out what the trends are.
Nominations close in two weeks. After Christmas, the Award Committee will announce the top ten books, which will be sent to our library for you to read and vote on. Stay tuned!
