As you may know, The Guggenheim Mystery was shortlisted for the BAMB Readers Awards this year.
The ceremony was last night, and I had a wonderful time. All of the other authors shortlisted in the children’s category are lovely people – in case you were wondering: yes, children’s authors do all hang out together, and yes, we are all really friends!

Emma Carroll’s amazing Letters from the Lighthouse won our category – I would have loved The Guggenheim Mystery to win, of course, but I am delighted that my friend’s book won!
So huge congratulations to Emma – I’m so pleased for her, and Letters from the Lighthouse is fantastic!
