Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2013

Annabel Pitcher won the Waterstones Children's Book Prize last night for Ketchup Clouds. The tale of a teenage girl writing to a murderer on death row is based on Annabel's own experience of writing to a prisoner. Described as a 'classic coming of age story featuring death, betrayal and redemption' Ketchup Clouds beat two other category winners, including Wonder by R.J. Palacio, to the title. Annabel will be here at Kimbolton on 18th June so we'll be able to congratulate her in person!
