World Book Night 2013

WorldBookNight2013
Yes! Today is World Book Night 2013. This year as in previous years I will be participating as a giver.
 
I was fortunate enough to be picked again and this year I will be giving copies of The Dark Judges – one of the greatest Dredd stories.
 
They came from Deadworld – twisted, ungodly versions of Judges with enough power to destroy the world! Led by the cadaverous super-fiend Judge Death, Judges Fear, Fire & Mortis share a chilling ethos – as only the living can break the law, all life is a crime!

The fearsome foursome are intent on bringing their brand of justice to Mega-City One. Only Judge Dredd and Psi-Division’s finest telepath Cassandra Anderson can stop them from committing a Mega-City massacre!

and I will be giving copies to 20 struggling & reluctant readers in my school.
 
I chose a graphic novel as I have found in working with reluctant readers that they do not equate comic books and graphic novels with reading and most of the kids are happy to give comics a read as opposed to books with just words.
 
World Book Night has (for the past two years) formed part of my getting kids reading in my school, I also utilise a collection of old proof copies of books and duplicate donations I have received to reach more than 20 potential readers.
