Danny McGee Drinks the Sea by Andy Stanton (and me) has been short listed for the Portsmouth Book Award!

Children will vote for their favourite books later in the year. Other books shortlisted include ‘The Treasure Of Pirate Frank’ by Mal Peet and Elspeth Graham, ‘There Is No Dragon In This Story’ by Lou Carter and Debbie Allwright, and ‘Tidy’ by Emily Gravett, so we’re in great company! Good luck to all the other nominees…
