Sefton Super Reads Award Afternoon
Sefton Super Reads Award Afternoon
14th June 2016. Crosby Library
The three shortlisted authors who were able to come to the award afternoon were Phil Caveney (who writes as Danny Weston), Ali Sparkes and Joe Delaney. They all gave us a fascinating insight into the creative process with their different ways of starting a book, and their sources of inspiration. After many searching questions from the audience, Ali Sparkes was announced the winner of the 2016 award for Car-Jacked, and received her trophy.

One of our reading group, Aakash won three prizes for his book reviews, and received his book tokens from the authors. The award, which is in its thirteenth year, is decided by the votes of the pupils who take part, from many schools in the Sefton area.
