On Thursday 17th March the Yoto Carnegie and Kate Greenaway medal shortlist was announced.

The annual book awards were launched to our Primary and Secondary reading groups and over a period of 12 weeks, both groups are working with Mrs. Dewhurst, Head of Secondary Library, looking at the 8 shortlisted titles.

Pupils who are taking part , also known as ‘shadowers’ as they ‘shadow’ the judging process for the Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Medals;  read, discuss and review the books on each shortlist, engage in reading-related activities which they share online, and vote for their favourites to win the Shadowers’ Choice Awards.

Here is a list of the Shortlisted titles:
