Joe Craig wins for Jimmy Coates

Congratulations to Joe Craig (2000), who has won the Bolton Children's Book Award for Jimmy Coates: Killer. He writes on his blog:

I couldn't believe it. A massive thank you to everybody in Bolton and the surrounding areas - whether you voted for me or not. By supporting the award you contributed to a wonderful occasion, and you certainly made it a memorable week for me. Those of you who were at the ceremony this morning probably have a better idea about how I reacted that I do. It's all a bit of a blur. I think there were some pictures taken, I probably rambled on into the microphone for a couple of minutes, and I'm pretty certain there was a cheque involved. Nice one.
