The Books in the Award

The Surrey Libraries' Children's Book Award is now in its 4th year, and celebrates the best fiction written for 7-9 year olds.

The shortlist of 5 books that will be competing for the 2014 Surrey Libraries' Children's Book Award has been decided. The books are:

• The No.1 Car Spotter and the Car Thieves by Atinuke
• Oliver Fibbs: Attack of the Alien Brain by Steve Hartley
• My Funny Family Gets Bigger by Chris Higgins
• The Magical Peppers and the Great Vanishing Act by Sian Pattenden
• Claude in the Spotlight by Alex T. Smith

The winner of the award will be selected by our Champion Schools and some of our Chatterbooks Groups in April 2014. We will be sharing the opinions and art work of those children involved on this blog. The winner will be announced at our Award Ceremony, which will be held at the H.G. Wells Centre in Woking on Wednesday 30 April.

So keep visiting this blog to find out what the children have been up to whilst deciding who the winner should be.
