Children's Book Award Round Up

Welcome to the blog tour round up for the Children’s Book Award 2025. This week we celebrated the titles in the Books for Older Readers Category. We had hoped to have a guest blog from each of our shortlisted authors but unfortunately, Sam Sedgman has been on a book tour and unable to write for us at this time.

Do check out the blogs below for more information about each of the shortlisted titles!
