The 2010 winners are:
Most Fun Story with Pictures: Dinkin Dings and the Frightening Things by Guy Bass (Stripes)
Best Book With Facts: Why Eating Bogeys is Good For You by Mitchell Symons (Random House Children’s Books)
Book I Couldn’t Put Down: Frozen in Time by Ali Sparkes (Oxford University Press)
Frozen in Time by Ali Sparkes won the Blue Peter Book of the Year award for children's fiction, which is judged by a panel of 8- to 9-year-old readers, the Guardian reported.
"I think if you asked any children's author which they thought was the most important prize for children's books, it's highly likely they would say the Blue Peter prize," said Sparkes.
"It's not the kind of book that I would have picked out in a shop," said Jamie Fenlon, one of the youthful judges. "The cover didn't persuade me and the blurb didn't persuade me, and the introduction [in which the two modern characters are stuck indoors on a rainy day in the summer holidays] was really dull. But the rest of the book is fantastic--it's outstanding."
