 North East Book Award 2003 Shortlist
We are delighted to announce this
year’s NEBA shortlist.
The Award aims to celebrate reading and
develop a “books are cool” culture
in schools amoung 14+ readers.
Shortlist 2003:
Blinded by the Light Sherry Ashworth
Starseeker Tim Bowler
Remembrance Theresa Breslin
Caught in the Crossfire Alan Gibbons
Mortal Engines Philip Reeve
Transplant Malcolm Rose
It’s an eclectic collection of love and
loss, cults, cloning and conflict and cities torn apart by race and
by consumerism, which we believe
highlights the issues which concern young people today,
and represents the very best books written for teenagers this year.
Some
20+ schools from all over the North East will make it the biggest and
best year yet – reading and reviewing the shortlisted titles,
exchanging their views by email and in virtual reading
rooms, designing a NEBA website and developing a promotional magazine:
demonstrating perfectly
the synergy of books and ICT.
Reading began in October and the winner will be announced
in January 2004 at a party in Waterstones, Newcastle,
for all
the authors
and student judges. If you would like more information
