Oldham Libraries Do Themselves Proud

I was recently in Oldham for a truly marvellous event – the very first ever Brilliant Books Award Ceremony. The venue? The glittering Queen Elizabeth Hall!

The Memory Cage was shortlisted in the Key Stage 3 category alongside the wonderful Burning Secrets by Clare Chambers and Dark Lord – The Teenage Years by Jamie Thomson.

I’m delighted to say that The Memory Cage WON, joining other category winners Caryl Hart & Ed Eaves, Julia Donaldson & David Roberts, Philip Caveney and Patrick Ness.

I received a beautifully designed mosaic created by a very talented group of young people from local schools. Thank you all so very much!
