Hi, I'm Elle, and I am in Year 8. I read everywhere and anywhere, and my absolute favorite books are Harry Potter. I also like Patrick Ness, and I love Suzanne Collin's "The Hunger Games". Jaclyn Moriarty is amazing as well!
HI!!:) I'm Louise, and I'm also in year 8! I like to try and read a variety of books but in between my 'variety books' (that's what I call them!) I absolutely have to read a girly book! When I was younger it was Cathy Cassidy but now I'm addicted to the series Ally's World!:)
Hi, I'm Nathan and I'm in year 8! In year 6 I didn't really read anything but spy but I liked to think I read more of a variety now, I just read Un Lun Dun which was Fantasy but really clever at the same time so I really enjoyed it, but my favourite books has to be Chaos Walking!
Hello, my name's Jenna, though I'm not sure if I am her (I am joking in case you were wondering...because everyone else said they were someone.) Anyway I like most books, I prefer ones with romance in but I hate reading predictable books hundreds of authors have written about. My favorite book would probably have to be The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. But to be honest, my favorite book really depends on what mood I'm in so don't hold it against me if I say something else is my favorite book!
Hi, I'm Ben and I'm in year 8. Since I was around 6 or 7, I've always loved reading and I still do now. I used to just read spy and action books but since Year 7, I've begun to read a wider range of books. My favourite books are the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Chaos Walking by Patrick Ness. I still read many types of book, though which one I read depends on how I'm feeling at the time!
Hi, I'm Fiona and I am in year 8. I have always followed in my sister's footsteps of having the love to read! I am not quick like many of my friends, but I can be quite slow this is because I take in all detail of the story. Last year I took part in Carnegie, and now my favourite book was the winner. I also like 'The Knife of Never Letting Go' by Patrick Ness! I will always love reading no matter how my future turns out!
Hi, I am Izzy and I am in year 8. I have always loved to read books and I read anything from animal stories to murder mysteries. I have never taken part in the Carnegie and I am looking forward to reading different styles of books that I wouldn't normally read. I am a quick reader but I do take a lot of the information in. My favorite series of books is the My story diaries.
Hello, I'm Will, a Year 8 student. I read a LOT, as in, my parents have occasionally tried to STOP me reading as much! I can read fast as well, I finished Monsters of Men in 1 day ( read throughout break, lunch and solidly (allowing time for dinner) until around 10PM). It just happens to be my favorite book EVER. Last year I never finished the shortlist but this year I want to read them all.
Hi, I'm Kirsty and I am in year 7.

Hi, I'm Adam. My favorite book I have read before Carnegie has started is The Enemy and The Dead by Charlie Higson. I have only started getting into fiction even though I have been reading for years and it is great. I cannot wait to start and may this be the first Carnegie book shadowing!
Hi, I'm Delphine. My favorite book before I started Carnegie was Scarlett by Cathy Cassidy. I have only just started getting into fiction and even reading proper books not just quick reads but the Roundwood Park librarian has inspired me to read some more!
Hi, I'm Sophie. My favorite book before I started Carnegie was James Bond 'Double or Die' by Charlie Higson. I was not always into reading in primary school but there were not many books that I liked. Doing Carnegie has got me into reading much more. I even read one of the books on holiday! Thanks.
