On Monday week 3 we went to the New Zealand book awards and we got to listen to six writers. There were two different sessions one with Fleur Beale, Joanna Grochowicz and Suzanne Main at 9:45 to 10:30, and another with Sophie Siers, Alison Ballance and Gavin Bishop at 11:30 to 12:15.
Fleur Beale talked about her book Lyla which is about the Christchurch earthquakes, Joanna Grochowicz talked about Into The White which is about Scott's journey to the South Pole and Suzanne Main talked about how she became a writer and her book How Not To Stop A Kidnap Plot. In the next session Sophie Siers talked about her book The Gift Horse, Alison Ballence talked about her book New Zealand's Great White Sharks and Gavin Bishop talked about his book Aotearoa: The New Zealand Story.
My favourite person to listen to was Alison Ballence because I love sharks and it was cool listening to her experience with them.
Have you read any of these books before?

Hi Aleisha,
ReplyDeleteIt's Olivia S your blog buddy from OLA school. The book awards sound very cool and I hope you had fun! I haven't actually read those books before. It sounds very interesting and those books sound very good as well.
