Alexandra Palace is buzzing about books!
Every year Haringey Libraries and Haringey Schools Librarians Group teams up with Alexandra Palace to encourage young people aged 9–12 years old (years 5 – 7) to take the Biblio-Buzz challenge.
The project aims to inspire children to learn the joys of reading by challenging them to complete six books, before voting for their favourite. Along the way they can attend workshops and reading circles as well as have the opportunity to meet the shortlisted authors.
Biblio-Buzz will culminate in a festival at Alexandra Palace on Sunday 29 March, and the Children’s Book Awards on Monday 30 March hosted by Michael Rosen.
The shortlisted books for 2020 are:
- A Pocketful of Stars – Aisha Bushby
- The Middler Kirsty Applebaum
- Anna at War – Helen Peters
- Can you See Me? – Libby Scott/Rebecca Westcott
- Check Mates – Stewart Foster
- Malamander – Thomas Taylor
