When Twitch won the CrimeFest Best Crime Novel for Children Award last year, I was over the moon. So you can imagine how pleased I am that Spark has been shortlisted for the same award. I think this pair of books are as good as each other, and as different as Twitch is from Jack.
You should totally check out the other authors on the shortlist, particularly the excellent Sharna Jackson and reader’s favourite Robin Stevens.
I can’t believe I’ll win the award for a second year, but I’m going to dream that it might. Huge thanks to CrimeFest for shortlisting Spark. It means a great deal to me.
