Cobham Children's Choice
We have teamed up with Cobham Bookshop to invite children from our local community to pick their favourite book within their age category.
The books have been chosen by Mrs Groombridge, Librarian at Parkside School, with a view to encouraging a variety of age appropriate reading. All books are fiction and were published in 2023. Many have been short-listed for prestigious national and international awards.
The Short List:
Years 3 & 4 (age 7 – 9)
Meet the Maliks, Zanib Mian
The Thames and Tide Club, The Secret City, Katya Balen
I am Lenny Brown, Dan Freedman
Years 5 & 6 (age 9 – 11)
Where the River Takes Us, Lesley Parr
My Especially Weird Week with Tess, Anna Woltz
Oh Maya Gods!, Maz Evans
Year 7 & 8 (age 11 – 13)
Tyger, S F Said
The Final Year, Matt Goodfellow
Ravencave, Marcus Sedgwick
How to vote:
Children can rank the books they read giving:
- 3 points for their favourite book
- 2 for the next favourite and
- 1 point for the third favourite.
Children may vote in more than one category, as long as all three books in that category have been read.
Votes should be submitted via the links below by Monday 3rd June 2024.
