Grampian Children's Book Award

The winner of the 2012 Award announced

Blackman, Malorie - Boys Don’t Cry
Dante has plans – university and a career as a journalist. He’s just waiting for his exam results. Then something happens that changes everything. His ex-girlfriend arrives unexpectedly with a baby girl. His baby. He agrees to look after the baby for a few hours but his ex never comes back. How does he explain this to his dad? His brother? What about university? Dante now has responsibilities he never dreamed of.

Congratulations to Malorie Blackman and thanks to all the young people who took part in the voting and fantastic awards ceremony held at the University of Aberdeen.
