Fantastic Book Awards 2013 - Lancashire School Library Service

The Fantastic Book Awards (F.B.A) are organised by Lancashire School Library Service.
Its aim is to support reading for pleasure and enjoyment for children aged 9 to 11 by introducing them to recently published children's fiction.

The participating schools are organised into five groups. Each group is then given a list of six books to read, review and vote on.
The title that emerges with the highest voting score in each group wins an FBA.
