Guardian longlist 2008
It’s another strong line-up for this year’s Guardian fiction prize for children, announced at the Hay-on-Wye Festival this week. Highlights include Before I Die by Jenny Downham, The Bog Child by the late Siobahn Dowd and Cosmic by Frank Cottrell Boyce.
Jenny Valentine, the author of the wonderful Finding Violet Park is one of this year’s Guardian judges. Jenny Valentine is also the current writer-in-resident at insideadog. And she lives where? Yep, Hay-on-Wye. Why not pay her a visit?
