The six $25 book voucher prizes in the Christchurch City Libraries Best and Worst of 2009 competition went to:
- Mikayla Gale-Hill
- Dragon's Keep by Janet Lee Carey This book is so amazing! It is filled with so much adventure and the characters go through dramatic changes that make you feel closer to them. The plot is believable, which is a plus because it's set in a medieval time with dragons and magic. When I read this, I felt I was there. The ending is really well done and isn't easy to guess what happens. I really love this book and I'm going to read it again. Dragon's Keep should be a movie!!
- Jo Murgatroyd
- Things Not Seen by Andrew Clements The thing that made this book so good, so amazing even, was the way a simple love story and the thrill of becoming invisible were intertwined to create a story I will never forget. It was really well written, and had me in suspense about how the problem was going to be solved. Just writing about it makes me want to read it again!
- Rochelle Montagne
- The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold 'The Lovely Bones' was my favourite book this year because i haven't been able to find a book lately that made me feel the way 'The Lovely Bones' did! I cried, I laughed, i screamed with frustration. It was an amazing story and I would recommend it to anyone.
- Madeline Davison
- Stiff by Mary Roach It gives an amazing description of a subject which is rarely spoken about. very detailed and informative without bias. slightly disturbing but very worth reading :) Madeline Davison.
- Harry Tothill
- Mister Pip by Lloyd Jones I just found it really interesting and well written, as it gave me an insight into the life of someone in the Solomon Islands, in the middle of a civil war. I think it made me appreciate the small "luxuries" I take for granted at home.
- Rebecca Deakins
- My Sister Jodie It's good because jacqueline puts really good thoughts in her writing and it is really sad at the end and has great emotion to the book and it is really good.
Well done and thanks to all who took the time to enter.
More competitions soon!
