We are delighted to announce that David Walliams’ novel The Ice Monster is the Children’s Fiction Book of the Year! It was recognised at the British Book Awards, with other prizes going to authors including Michelle Obama and Sally Rooney. David accepted the award before inviting illustrator Tony Ross to join him on stage to share the moment. Judge Tina Gaisford-Waller, of Hunting Raven Books, described ‘The Ice Monster’ as “gloriously, snortily funny.”
