Children's literature and writers are all too often not taken seriously, but now the International Booker Prize has announced that the first Children's Booker will be awarded in 2027 for books published in the UK or Ireland during 2026. Fittingly, Frank Cottrell-Boyce, who has been a passionate advocate for children's books for many years, will head the first judging panel, which will include two other adults and three children selected through the schools, a wonderful idea.

Prophet Song by Paul Lynch. This is a very well written book but geez is it bleak. Honestly I think it will age well as a record of modern war but right now it’s not exactly what I want for my recreational #reading. If you have or love children prepare to have your heart ripped out #BookerPrize #books @bookstodon
