As following yearly tradition, the Graphic Novels Club have been busy reading and reviewing the blue and red shortlists for the Excelsior Award!
Beginning in 2011 as The Stan Lee Excelsior Award, this project aims to encourage reading for pleasure among the students and highlight the value of graphic novels and manga within schools.
As part of this, our Librarian kindly provides the club with the books selected for the blue and red shortlists. These are then circulated within the Graphic Novel Club where we discuss and compare the shortlist picks.
This year, we have read and rated Black Knight: Curse of the Ebony Blade, U.S.Agent: American Zealot, The Eternals: Only Death is Eternal, Mama Akuma, Miss Endicott and How to Pick a Fight. All six titles will shortly be available for all library users to borrow!
We have also created our own Excelsior themed display in the Library and entered our work in the official 'Nuff Said Award.
Featuring detailed reviews from club members, information on the Excelsior Award and bunting made from recycled graphic novels, the display can be found both in the Library and online via the Excelsior Award website.
