Thank you to all of the nominated authors for this year's awards, and congratulations again to the winners Polly Crosby and Josh Silver as well as to the runners-up Ravena Guron and Jenny Pearson 🥳 and of course a big congratulations to the winner of winners, Holly Jackson 🎉

Finally, thank you to everyone who helped to make this day possible - all the Cheshire West and Chester Libraries staff, the booksellers from Nantwich Bookshop and Coffee Lounge, all the teachers and school librarians, and especially to all the students who participated and voted. This award would be nothing without you. So thank you, thank you, thank you 😊
