Great news – The Keeper has been shortlisted as one of the four children’s books of the year in the senior category. It appears alongside writers whom I admire very much, making this especially thrilling news – the other finalists are ‘Stay Where you are and Then Leave’ by John Boyne, ‘Eva & the Hidden Diary’ by Judi Curtain and ‘Skulduggery Pleasant: Last Stand of Dead Men’ by Derek Landy.
