Due to lockdown last term, we were unable to run the discussion afternoon and final vote for Leventhorpe's book of the year 2019-2020.  After collecting in everyone's vote this term, we are delighted to announce that the winner is...

Lifeboat 12 by Susan Hood

We have loads of copies of all 6 books in the library if students or staff are looking for a great read!

It was a fabulous shortlist this year (see below) and, despite having to cancel the final discussion afternoon in May, more than 80 students, across 8 schools have participated in this reading challenge.  Please do congratulate those in Year 7 and Year 8 who dedicated hours of reading in their scrutiny of the shortlist.

•  Lifeboat by Susan Hood
• Boy 87 by Ele Fountain 
• The Dog Runner by Bren Macdibble
