A price that sells

Very influential in terms of sales, the Goncourt of high school students can represent several hundred thousand copies sold in certain years.

Little brother of the Goncourt for adults, the Goncourt for high school students, created in Rennes in 1988 and organized by Fnac and the Ministry of National Education, takes place every year from September to November. It allows some 2,000 students from second to BTS to discover contemporary literature and to promote a taste for reading in their establishments.

Neige Sinno has already won, for this novel, the Femina prizes as well as the Goncourt de la Suisse 2023, announced Tuesday evening at the French embassy in Bern in the presence of the president of the Goncourt Academy, Didier Decoin.

In 2022, the Goncourt Prize for High School Students was awarded to Sabyl Ghoussoub for his novel Beirut-sur-Seine (Stock ed.).
