Last week was the CBCA Book Week and we were delighted to hear that Sot Gardner's "The Dead I Know" won the Older Readers' Category. I loved this novel - it was engaging,challenging and raw like so many of Scot's other novels. I would highly recommend it to anyone in Year 9 upwards.Scot must be on "cloud nine" at the moment. He is a Gippsland author,lives in Boolarra and has been a popular presenter at our Year 9 Wellington Writers' Gigs in the past.
Below is a "book trailer" response to the novel, created by Ross in 9A
To help celebrate Book Week we ran a Book Quiz that was won by Calista in year 7.We also launched the "Get Reading" challenge that recommends that everyone reads the 50 books from the "50 Books You Can't Put Down" booklet.Come to the ISC for a free copy of this guide.
