Marcus Sedgwick was today named as the
winner of the Booktrust T
eenage Prize 2007 for his
gothic novel
My Swordhand is Singing, published by
Orion.
The
prize was established by
Booktrust in 2003 to recognise and
celebrate contemporary
fiction written for
teenagers. So we asked
three teenage
daughters of PWT members to
review the 2007 short-listed
novels.
In the
short amount of
time we had they couldn’t each read all
six books, but their
reviews make very
interesting reading and so a huge
thank you to
Aoife O’Neill,
Lucy Bairstow and
Claudia Minett who read the winning
entry.
And, of course
congratulations to Marcus Sedwick!
