The winner of the New Children’s Author Prize was announced
last night at a celebration event in London. Teacher Emma Cox beat over 400
entries to win the award. Her book Malkin
Moonlight, which tells the story of a cat and its sixth sense, will be
published by Bloomsbury in summer 2016. The competition has raised over
£20,000, which will go towards The National Literacy Trusts work to tackle low
literacy levels in communities across the UK.

Award Ceremony date confirmed
Just a quick update, now the
Snooker is over (and the green baize packed away once again) we have had
confirmation from the world famous Crucible Theatre that we are booked in their
diary for Thursday 12th
November for the Sheffield
Children’s Book Award Ceremony!
We are really looking forward to a bumper
attendance this year as we have had a record number of schools sign up for the
project. I am sure all the children and young people will be very excited to
hear the results announced for the very first time at the ceremony and meeting
lots of authors and illustrators.
