The nene award is a student generated honor. A list of books is submitted according to a list of criteria. The students read books off the list and vote for the one they enjoyed most. During the school year students submit voice threads, artwork and skits portraying a piece of the book they enjoyed or they wish had been a part of the story. Students who WIN the contest are treated to a day to listen to and view the winning entries as well as meet the author and eat lunch with them....THORIN won that chance and sat across from Margaret Haddox for her work on the book SENT. She also wrote for the 39 Clues series and many more. Thorin and Sorenna were also allowed to perform Hula for a special event at the school. The author visited 3 schools during her week on the island and since our school had so many winning entries she chose ours. Thorin really enjoyed her talk with Ms Haddox and was glowing for days after her luncheon.
