Blue Peter Book Award

The Boy Who Fell Down Exit 43 has been shortlisted for the Blue Peter Book Award. It is one of three in the “Book I Couldn’t Put Down” category. It will be aired on Blue Peter next Tuesday (10th November) on BBC 1 and part of it will be dramatised on another Blue Peter show in March, to link in with World Book Day.

I can’t believe it!

    Aaaaaargh!!!!!! Too exciting for words, unbelievable, highest accolade in children’s fiction in my book (see what I did there?) Marvellous and utterly well deserved, if you haven’t read this book, where have you been?

    Hello Harriet,
    I bought your book ‘The Boy Who Fell Down Exit 43′ at the book fair at my school. I let my friends read the blurb. They all thought it was great! I showed my dad as well. He said, “The beginning is great. It really makes me want to read it!” I am on page 31 already. So far it is great! We have our books on our table to read at school. I asked my teacher if I could take it off the desk because it was too tempting to read while I was doing my Maths!

    Hi Skye,
    Brilliant to hear from you. Hope you enjoy EXIT 43. Whereabouts is your school? Did you know that I do school visits?

    Yes I Did Know. But I am Going To Have To Ask My School First Before We Let You Visit!

I'd love to hear from you! - Please leave me a comment
