There's some good stuff in the Leicestershire Children's Book Prize.
And, you can vote for them too, last day is today though (oops) sorry about posting this so late
Both Dirty Bertie and The Dunderheads has illustrations by David Roberts, who is very good indeed. So well done him for getting on here twice. Top stuff.
Ghost Goblins is illustrated by David Melling who is also very good indeed.
And The Story of Matthew Buzzington is illustrated by Ross Collins, whose stuff I really really like.
So those are my pick of the pops
