The winners of the Lunch Pack Competition
Primary and Intermediate schools interviewed NZ authors and reviewed a selection of books from our
Top 25 Kiwi Kids' selection. Reviews and interviews by kids were sent in via text form, illustration and on video.
Group entries win Tip Top ice creams for their class, all
Top 25 books for their school library and attend the Duffy Books in Homes celebration at the Civic on 24th September. Individual entries win $100 Book Tokens. All the winners also get to go behind the scenes at TVNZ's Studio 2 (hopefully meet
Matt Gibb!) and be involved in on-air filming – they will be world famous in NZ!
