The Blue Peter Book Awards 2012
What makes The Blue Peter Book Awards special is that they're decided by a panel of young readers and this years shortlist for the Blue Peter Book Awards 2012, includes a fact book that contains all there is to know about the 2012 Olympics; a treasure trove of information about the extremes of the planet; a novel that investigates those strange howls in the night; and a tale of friendship, time travel and tragedy.
The shortlisted books are now being judged by more than 200 young Blue Peter viewers drawn from 10 schools across the UK to decide the winner of the Blue Peter Book of the Year 2012.
Judge and author Linda Chapman comments: I'm delighted with the shortlist! I think there's a great mix of books that will appeal to a wide range of readers — from those who love a good story to those who are hooked on facts. The important thing I think all four books have in common is that readers will be excited by them, want to re-read them and share them with their friends.
