We would like to thank the many talented authors who submitted their works for our Kraken Book Prize. We were thrilled to receive so many marvelous manuscripts and were hard-pressed to narrow the selection down to four – and then to pick the winning one! We are delighted to be publishing the winning title as well as two of the finalist manuscripts, and we are inordinately proud to be bringing such gorgeously crafted works to young readers!
