Awesome Book Awards 2018

We love the Awesome Book Awards because it opens up our world to the magic of reading. For some boys, the Awesome Book Awards shortlist is their first tentative step into discovering the delights of reading for pleasure. Each book provides entertainment and enjoyment through the firing of their imagination. Whole new worlds are discovered and travelled in and a journey into a lifetime of reading begins. We meet new friends and discover that we are not alone and soon we realise the power of reading as it begins to develop and shape our minds. To be excellent in almost all other subjects, we need to be able to read and to understand what we have read. The Awesome Book Awards is, for some of the boys, their first discovery of reading for pleasure and for most of the boys it is an opportunity to read a book they may not have normally chosen to read and, thus, discover a whole new world.
