shortlists. Gothic fantasy <i>Tinder </i>begins with its central character,
young soldier Otto, narrowly giving Death the slip, while <i>More Than This</i>
starts with the drowning of its hero, a boy named Seth. Elsewhere in the
Carnegie shortlist, Dylan, the Tourette’s sufferer of <i>When Mr Dog Bites</i>,
believes he faces death in the not-too distant future, and the titular
<i>Buffalo Soldier</i> of Tanya Landman’s novel, an ex-slave now serving in the
post-Civil War US army, feels Death is “so close you can smell his breath.” The
devastation of World War One looms large in Frances Hardinge’s <i>Cuckoo
Song</i>, whilst Geraldine McCaughrean’s <i>The Middle of Nowhere</i> begins
with a child losing her mother to a snake bite in the Australian Outback. Sarah
Crossan’s <i>Apple</i> <i>and Rain</i> sees a young girl called Apple delighted
to be reunited with her estranged mother until she meets Rain, the half-sister
she didn’t know she had. Finally, Elizabeth Laird’s <i>The Fastest Boy in the
World</i> sees the eleven-year-old Solomon facing a marathon run to seek help
for his beloved grandfather.Mrs Brockleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05238434657615173198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844631000810676764.post-66435304145867403682015-03-16T03:41:00.001-07:002015-03-16T03:41:35.746-07:00World Book Day - the votes have been counted!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br />
Now in its 5th year, the Award recognises excellence in writing, encourages creativity, and helps develop writing talent in young people between <b>5-25 years</b> old from all backgrounds and areas of the UK & Ireland.<br /><br /> A shortlist of 100 entrants will be invited to a very special prize event at the <b>Apollo Victoria Theatre</b> in July 2015 and each will receive a published copy of their entry as part of the annual <b>Wicked Young Writers' Award Anthology</b>.<br /><br /> Entries can be submitted individually or as part of a school group and both online and postal entries are accepted.
