The Lit Quiz group had the wonderful opportunity to listen to six New Zealand Authors talk about their latest books. These books have made the short list in this year’s awards.

It was a great morning. All of the speakers were inspired by authors of wonderful books that fill our very own school library shelves! It was also great to know that it’s never too late to start writing your own books!

Check out all the books that made the shortlist for the NZ Book awards HERE.

And the winner of the Margaret Mahy Book of the Year is…

Gavin Bishop and his amazing book:

‘Aotearoa The New Zealand Story’

AND one of the wonderful authors we got to hear from!
