Hill & Hole has made the Finals of the NZ Post Children’s Book Awards!! Yahoo!

I’m thrilled and a little bit relieved, plus it’s always a bit sad, too. Lots of great books written by good friends have missed out, which is a shame. But there are lots of books by first-timer writers, too. Which is great news for them, because we all have to start somewhere, and I remember the first time I made the finals – I was jumping up and down for weeks!!

So good luck to all the finalists.
