Guardian children's prize winner announced.
From (duh) The Guardian:
Jenny Valentine, 37, scooped the £1,500 prize with Finding Violet Park, the story of a "friendship" forged beyond the grave between a teenage boy and the elderly woman whose ashes he discovers abandoned in a taxi office.
The book isn't currently available in the US. I Googled 'Jenny Valentine' in the hopes of finding info about a US release date, but it turns out that there's another, more well-known (at least to Google) Jenny Valentine who "love[s] to take off [her] clothes and masturbate for you all to see!" So I got scared and gave up.
