WALDEGRAVE REVIEW OF BOOKS
The Waldegrave Review of Books is a collection of book recommendations created by people in Year 9 for students who are looking for a new book, genre or author to explore. Last year, Nikki and I helped edit this so it was ready to be published for pupils in our year to read. The project was a trial and hopefully we create one for the whole school in 2026. To create WRB, we both put together an introduction covering what it’s aim was, an insight on what reading means to us, along with eight book reviews chosen by Miss Lynes to go into the collection. We made this because we wanted to encourage our friends and other students to read more and try new genres. Whether you read all the time or not at all, WRB was a chance to learn about new
books and encourage everyone to read. The best part was that each review was written by our classmates with their opinions on why they loved each book so much.
My experience of working on this project as an editor was really fun and interesting because through this role I helped to create something for everyone’s enjoyment and I was able to do it with one of my close friends. I got to read each of the reviews and learned about new genres that I had never thought about reading myself. From this experience, I learnt how to take on the role of an editor and how to present a piece like this so that it was eye- catching and could hook you in with the mini summaries we wrote. Overall this was a great experience that I think other people would enjoy if they have the opportunity to edit a future edition.
