2010 Red Maple™ Award Winner:
Susin Nielsen, Word Nerd (Tundra Books)
The Red Maple Award™ reading program is offered for the enjoyment of students in Grades 7 and 8. The program, like the Association's Silver Birch Awards® reading program, gives students who have read a minimum number of nominated titles the opportunity to vote with a large group of their peers for the nominated title that they feel should win the Red Maple Award™ each year.
Students are encouraged to view the information about authors and the books on a special Web site created for registrants. The site includes e-mail access to most of the authors and additional resources that Program Administrators can use with their students. Students can share their thoughts on the books on our Reforestation sites as well and are encouraged to comment on the books and the authors writing.
