TSBA Ceremony: Pupils Meet Authors
Pupils from 15 secondary schools attended the 2019 Trinity Schools Book Award ceremony on 15 March. They had the chance to meet four authors and to view the impressive entries for the pupil competitions for Best Review and Best Creative Response. Pupils from 20 schools read six books and voted for their favourite. This year there was an unprecedented tie between Alice Broadway for Ink and Paul Dowswell for Ausländer! Unfortunately an injury prevented Alice from attending the ceremony, but she sent a video message and was clearly thrilled to be chosen and very disappointed not to attend. Paul Dowswell was there, along with Nicholas Bowling, Frances Hardinge and Muhammad Khan, and gave a heartfelt acceptance speech which clearly showed how pleased he was to have won. All four authors took part in a Q & A session, which was expertly chaired by Mr Crombie. Excited pupils queued to get their books signed and chat with the authors, before departing with a bag of TSBA goodies in preparation for next year’s award.
