For the first time, students at The Dixie Grammar School are joining in the CILIP Carnegie Medal Shadowing Scheme. We have had our first meeting and 14 students from Years 8 and 9 have signed up!

There are 8 books on the shortlist:

  1. Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson
  2. The Graveyard Book by Nail Gaiman
  3. The Vanishing of Katharina Linden by Helen Grant
  4. Rowan the Strange by Julie Hearn
  5. The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness
  6. Nation by Terry Pratchett
  7. Fever Crumb by Philip Reeve
  8. Revolver by Marcus Sedgwick

The group will be meeting in the Library on Friday lunchtimes every week – we hope to have a lot of fun and great discussions as we read the books!
