What a fantastic evening! Over 180 students from 1 What a fantastic evening! Over 180 students from 13 local secondary schools had the best time celebrating the joys of books and reading at the Page Turners Book Award Gala last Thursday. Guest authors @laurenelizjames and @nicolapenfoldauthor both had the audience enthralled with their fascinating talks and a brilliant joint Q&A, and had long queues of readers wanting to meet them in the interval! We had special videos from shortlisted authors William Sutcliffe, Elle McNicoll, Ele Fountain and Sophie Cameron and @sevenoaksbookshop provided an amazing pop up bookshop where every student had the opportunity to buy a book using their special event book token, generously funded by our sponsors @cooperburnettsolicitorstw and Leadership and Learning Ltd. With yummy refreshments, a fancy dress competition and the eagerly awaited announcement of the winners of the hotly contested creative response competition (which had no less than 86 entries!) it truly was a night to remember! Thanks to everyone for being there, to all the incredible librarians who run and organise the awards, and to Weald of Kent Grammar School for hosting🥳🥳🥳 #schoolbookawards #loveofreading #readingcelebration #brilliantauthors #pageturners #schoolreading
So exciting to reveal the Page Turners winner, as So exciting to reveal the Page Turners winner, as voted for by our incredible readers! ‘The Survival Game’ by the much missed Nicky Singer came out on top, a bittersweet but very fitting testament to her memory. Nicky was a guest author at a previous Gala back in 2015 (when we were still the West Kent Schools Themed Book Awards) and she was, of course, amazing so it seems entirely right that her brilliant book should win this time. If anyone can help us get Nicky’s trophy to her family we’d be very grateful! ‘Where the World Turns Wild’ by Nicola Penfold came in a close second, with ‘Show Us Who You Are’ by Elle McNicoll taking third place. Congratulations to them both 🤩An amazing time was had by all, lots of pictures to follow soon 🥳🥳🥳
