= Welcome to the Surrey Schools' Book of the Year = = Wiki for 2011-2012! =

Surrey Schools' Book of the Year Award is a student reader's choice award for students in Grades 4 to 7. This program has been running in Surrey, B.C. schools since 1972, which makes it one of the longest running student choice awards in North America. Students are required to read at least 5 of the novels before they are allowed to vote for their favourite. Many students elect to read all ten.

Our SSBOY committee has chosen 10 exciting new titles, which will arrive in schools before September, 2011.

Each nominated title has its own page of web links. The pages are listed to the left. Presented below is the complete list of nominees:

//The 100-Year-Old Secret// (mystery) //Brixton Brothers and the Case of Mistaken Identity// (mystery) //Crossing To Freedom// (historical fiction) //The Flight of the Phoenix// (fantasy) //Folllow the Elephant// (contemporary, travel) //Frankie Pickle and the Closet of Doom// (humour, “graphic”) //The Nine Lives of Travis Keating// (contemporary) //The Red Pyramid// (fantasy) //The Strange Case of Origami Yoda// (contemporary, humour) //The Year of the Golden Dragon// (fantasy)
