Our reading group of keen readers who are shadowing the Carnegie Medal have not only been busy reading but have also been writing reviews. This is an important element of the shadowing process, considering whether the books match the award criteria. This includes the plot, characterisation and style, and crucially "The book that wins the Carnegie Medal should be a book of outstanding literary quality. The whole work should provide pleasure, not merely from the surface enjoyment of a good read, but also the deeper subconscious satisfaction of having gone through a vicarious, but at the time of reading, a real experience that is retained afterwards."
We have over 50 reviews on the OLA page, do take a look at them here.
