The books discussed at the Children's Choice event really did reflect the name of the day. Pupils from Jupiter Drive Primary - Hemel Hempstead, Priorswood - Ware, Monks Walk - Welwyn Garden City and Westfield Community Technology College - Watford, worked with teachers and library staff in school and with Schools Library Service to agree the short -listed titles for discussion on the day.

St Albans based author Pete Johnson had titles on both the Primary and Secondary longlists and "Help! I'm a classroom gambler" was on the Secondary Shortlist. When SLS staff were thinking about who to invite as a speaker on the day, Pete was the obvious choice. He kept both his audiences thoroughly engaged and involved and he really was the Children's Choice!

After the introductions the students were divided into discussion groups, click on the thumbnails below to view enlarged images.
