<br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's Christmas Eve 1914. A group of tired soldiers start singing Stille Nacht. Soldiers the other side of No Man's Land respond with Silent Night. The next day, soldiers on both sides put down their weapons and celebrate the spirit of Christmas Day with a friendly football match. In the sequel to the hugely popular Where The Poppies Now Grow, The Christmas Truce finds soldiers Ben and Ray shaking hands in friendship with Karl and Lars, a tribute to that remarkable moment in history when, for one day, peace found a place.</span><br />

reader in the world described; perfectly conveying raw emotions without the
overuse of sentimentality. This is a beautiful, powerful piece of writing that

He is the ninth author to hold the two-year post.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Riddell, who takes over from Malorie Blackman, will focus on creativity and visual literacy, extolling the meditative pleasure – for everyone – of creating a drawing every day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In advance of the announcement he said: “Do you have hands? Excellent. That’s a good start. Can you hold a pencil? Great. If you have a sketchbook, open it and start by making a line, a mark, wherever. Doodle. Take a line for a walk, as Paul Klee said. Lose your inhibitions about drawing and just do it.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Riddell will post a daily illustration on an online “laureate log” for the duration of his tenure, and will organise events with other illustrators.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chris was shortlisted for the Sheffield Children's Book Award with Neil Gayman </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">in 2014 for Fortunaltly the Milk... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fortunately the Milk</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> This is quite possibly the most exciting adventure ever to be written about milk since Tolstoy's epic novel War and Milk. Also it has aliens, pirates, dinosaurs and wumpires in it (but not the handsome, misunderstood kind), also a never-adequately-explained-bowl-of-piranhas, not to mention a Volcano God.</span><br />

<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every
year a team of library staff, teachers and educational practitioners get
together and spend a fantastically indulgent 3 days delving into 100’s of the
best children's books published during the previous year. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Everyone enjoys taking time
out from the day job selecting the books with the criteria in mind of selecting
books we all think will inspire and engage the children of Sheffield.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And every year… it snows! Our
selection panel was smaller than in previous years and all had one eye on the
window checking the weather but….we think we have found some real gems this
year.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Children’s
authors Jacqueline Wilson, Michael Morpurgo, Lauren Child and Cressida Cowell have announced that they will
design BookBenches based on their own children’s books

Guillemot, in which the poem gives a visual image of the precipitous world in
which the bird lives as well as describing its life; Christmas Caterpillar
surprises Santa while Quibble will set all readers on a circular and quibbling
conversation about exactly what is being described. A terrific anthology for
diving into again and again.</em></span></div>

Dawson was announced as the winner of the award at a ceremony on Friday 11th July 2014 surrounded by fans, invited journalists and five out of nine of the other shortlisted authors: Cathy Cassidy, Beth Reekles, Natasha Farrant, Holly Smale, Cassandra Clare, S.C. Ransom, Tonya Hurley, Veronica Roth and John Green.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">James is the author of <strong>Cruel Summer</strong>, shortlisted for the Sheffield Children's Book Award 2014 Young Adult category.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The <strong>Queen of Teen</strong> was launched in 2008 to celebrate the ever-growing range of fiction available for young adults and acknowledge the hugely significant part that fiction can play in the teenage years. Readers are invited to nominate authors for the award and it is their votes that choose the winner. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The changing shape of the shortlists over the years – each one nominated entirely by teens – accurately reflects the trends and developments in the genre of teen fiction. From the hilarious books of the first-winner, Louise Rennison, through the more issues-focused stories of Cathy Cassidy to the darker tales of Maureen Johnson and James Dawson.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Author of <strong>Hollow Pike</strong> and <strong>Say Her Name</strong>, James rallied his loyal fans and followers with a vigorous social media campaign and an ‘endorsement’ from Eurovision Song Contest winner Conchita Wurst. Queen of Teen voters were impressed with his sensitive and entertaining handling of subjects such as challenges affecting the LGBT community. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As one voter commented: ‘There are lots of gay characters in his books. But the books aren't about being gay; they're gay because they're gay and a huge fuss isn't made about it, which is fantastic.’ </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">James said, on being crowned <strong>Queen of Teen</strong>, ‘I am not the best-selling author on the list. I’m not the most famous. I’m not the most talented. So all I can really do is promise to work twice as hard to be a really good queen. I hope I can take this award and do something with it, and use the platform to shine a light on UKYA.’</span><br />

</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 1st wave took out half a million people, the 2nd put that number to shame. Rick Yancey's frightening dystopia is now anticipating its 5th hit and no one knows what to expect. Cassie has lost everything, her parents are dead, her little brother has been captured, to be alive in her world is to be alone. She runs from Them on a daily basis as they kill anyone they find scattered across Earth's desolate countryside. Then she meets Evan. Is he her only hope to rescue her brother and save herself? In this gripping young adult epic, shortlisted for the Red House Children's Book Award 2014, The Hunger Games meets I Am Number Four to create the ultimate page-turner. Action-packed, intense and just waiting to be made into a blockbuster movie!<br /><br />Please be advised that some of the content in this book contains mild profanities and themes that are not suitable for younger children.</span><br />Jennie Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03378537706971296054noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471798106637821601.post-27940200094483957322014-07-02T09:43:00.002+01:002014-07-02T09:43:40.341+01:00I am ready and waiting for your votes!<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Please could schools
start gathering in all the votes and send them to me on the forms provided by
18th July. </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">I'm really looking forward to
reading all the comments the children and young people have made so please
remember to send those on to me . Some of the comments will be used for a display at the
award ceremony before i pass them on the authors and illustrators. This is a
great opportunity for teachers to encourage writing and for authors to find out
what their greatest critiques really think of their books!</span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
The votes will be kept a closely guarded secret until the award ceremony on 5th November at the Crucible Theatre, hope to see as many of our voters there as possible....and lots of authors and illustrators too.<br />
<br />
....and here's a reminder of the 2013 ceremony.<br />
