We are over the moon that Nadia Mikail’s incredible book has been shortlisted for the Older Readers’ category of the Waterstones Children’s Book Award – what an accolade and so thoroughly deserved. The Waterstones Children’s Book Award is designed to support new writers and is chosen by the booksellers themselves, so it’s a very special one to be shortlisted for. Don’t miss this book! As one of the booksellers says: ‘A beautiful testament to family, friendships and what you choose to value when everything is ending. Think They Both Die at the End meets Jenny Downham.’
