What a wonderful day this was!Thanks to everyone involved with @theDCBA, the authors (great to meet @melliver & @BWareAuthor), the brilliant staff at @SummerhillSch, @wordsleyschool's ace librarian for all the help, and most of all, all the lovely enthusiastic young readers!📚
Congrats to @cynthiamurphyya who WON the @theDCBA! And hi from a very happy runner up! Signed I think 100 books and we sold out @WaterstonesWton, plus met the lovely MG winner @bwareauthor. Thanks to @schoolsummerhill for hosting and to Mr Morgan for hosting!
