The winners of the Scottish Children's Book Awards were announced yesterday afternoon and the ICHS students who had acted as judges watched some of the ceremony via a live feed from GLOW. The winner of the 8-11 years Category was first-time author Ross McKenzie with his fantasy book 'Zak and the dream pirates'. This was also the favourite book of the ICHS judges in that category.
The winner in the 12-16 Category was Nicola Morgan' s book about love, life and fate - 'Wasted'. Although we had enjoyed this book, the majority of ICHS judges voted for 'The Blackhope enigma' by Teresa Flavin.
All of the shortlisted books are on display in the Library, along with the sequels to 'The Blackhope enigma' and 'The case of the London dragonfish'.
