The Nosy Crow Reading Group will be back next week for its first meeting of 2016, and we’ll be discussing Shackleton’s Journey by William Grill – winner of the 2015 Kate Greenaway Medal, and our reading group’s first illustrated non-fiction title.
As usual, we have a few questions prepared for discussion – here’s some of what we might talk about on the evening:
- How successfully do you think Shackleton’s Journey integrates text and illustration?
- How well do you think Grill balances narrative and non-fiction elements of the book?
- Who do you think this book is “for”? How child-friendly do you think it is?
We’ll be meeting on Wednesday, January 20 at 6.30pm, here at the Nosy Crow offices – 10a Lant Street, London, SE1 1QR – for a discussion of the book (along with wine and crisps). The group is currently fully booked, but if you’d like to add your name to our waiting list, you can do so with the form below (or at this page), and we’ll notify you if a place opens up.
You can order the book online here – and you can find a gallery of William Grill’s artwork from the book here.
We hope to see you next week!
