MNSP Book Awards - 22nd May 2025
The College hosted the first MNSP Trust Book Awards on Thursday 22nd May in the Merlin Theatre.
Library staff from schools in the partnership worked together to form panels of students at each school who have been reading and reviewing six shortlisted titles. Participating students, librarians and many of the shortlisted authors came together to celebrate the inaugural awards.
The shortlisted entries were:
- The List by Keith Gray (dyslexic friendly)
- Keedie by Elle McNicol
- Bird Boy by Catherine Bruton
- Cross my Heart and Never Lie by Nora Dasnes Cross
- Murder at Wintertide by Fleur Hitchcock
- Sisters of Sword and Shadow by Laura Bates
Students voted to decide on their favourite book and Bird Boy was a very deserved winner. Congratulations to Catherine Bruton.
Thank you to Hunting Raven Books for their support for the competition. The titles are available to order from them and are thoroughly recommend for readers aged 11-16.
