This week’s Carnegie-nominated pick is Tinder by Sally Gardner. A dark tale based on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Tinderbox, Tinder tells the tale of a soldier during the 30 Years War. Tinder was also nominated for a Greenaway Medal this year, for its dark but beautiful illustrations by David Roberts. Copies of the book are available in the library. Interested students are invited to a book club this Thursday at 12:15 in P205 (Ms Andrews’ room) for a discussion about the book.
