Children’s Book Award Round Up- Books for Younger Readers
Every year as part of the Top Ten Announcement for the Children’s Book Award, we ask popular bloggers to host a special blog tour to celebrate the most popular books, as voted on solely by children across the UK. We launched the Top Ten shortlist on 3rd March and have a spectacular line up of guest blogs from the shortlisted authors.
This week we kicked off with our Books for Younger Readers Category where we have three shortlisted titles
Turtle Moon by Hannah Gold
Spooksmiths by Alex Atkinson
I am Rebel by Ross Montgomery
Three bloggers hosted the guest posts from Hannah, Alex and Ross and we include the links for you to check out!
Rich Simpson, of What I Read, hosted friend, Hannah Gold on the 4th of March.
