This year's Jhalak Children's & YA Prize  has been won by the amazing Patrice Lawrence for her excellent novel Eight Pieces of Silva.  The prize is open to 'books for children and  teens and young adults including picture books, chapter books, graphic novels, poetry, non-fiction, and all other genres by writers of colour and aimed at young readers'.

Eight Pieces of Silva is also part this year's Read For Empathy Secondary Collection, and is well worth a read.  Other books by Patrice, including her debut award-winning novel, Orangeboy, are available to borrow from the Lower and Upper Libraries.

Patrice Lawrence is due to visit EPHS on an author visit next World Book Day 2022 - we can't wait!
