ON MONDAY 12 August, the annual ‘Read Like a Demon’ gala day was held in the City of Casey.

The gala day rewards and recognises the students, who have participated in the Read Like a Demon program.

Program ambassadors, Colin Garland and Cameron Pedersen, presented more than 200 children with certificates and Demon books.

Each year, a Read Like a Demon participant has the opportunity to write their own story and have it published by the Melbourne Football Club.

The award went to Chamodi Dissanyake who wrote ‘Night of the Clown’. The Reviewer of the Year was awarded to Almog Cohen, who wrote the best book review and submitted it via the Book Club on deezone.com.au.

The Read Like a Demon program continues to grow from strength to strength, with more than 1307 book reviews being submitted on deezone.com.au. There were also more than 100 submissions received to have their story published.
