Congratulations to Gillian Cross, an OLA favourite, who has been awarded the Little Rebels children's book award for her book After Tomorrow. This is the second year of the prize, which recognises children's fiction for readers aged 0-12 which promotes social justice.
Money is worthless. Armed robbers roam the streets. No one is safe. Matt and his little brother, Taco, escape through the Channel Tunnel. Their mother said they would be safe on the other side, but she was wrong. This is a gripping thriller, which was inspired by the organisation CORD, an international peacebuilding, relief and development organisation working with people affected by conflict worldwide.
