I’ve just had some very exciting news!

The Guggenheim Mystery, my sequel to Siobhan Dowd’s The London Eye Mystery, has been shortlisted for the Middle Grade category in this year’s Books Are My Bag Readers’ Awards.

This is a really brilliant award, run by National Book Tokens, chosen by independent booksellers and voted for by YOU! I’m hugely honoured to have been chosen, and prouder than ever to have been given the chance to carry on Siobhan’s story by her Estate.

Thank you to all of the booksellers who chose me for the shortlist – it’s an absolutely incredible one and I am genuinely a fan of all of my fellow shortlistees.

But now, it’s all over to you guys.

You can vote on all of the categories here (and you get put into a draw to win an awesome prize). There are loads of brilliant books to vote for in all of the categories – and of course, I hope you’ll vote for me, but I’ll absolutely understand if you choose one of the other books in my shortlist. They are all amazing!
