Our Top Tales winner - revealed!
Today we were joined by judge Tom Fletcher and Hachette Children's Group director Katie Price to announce the winner of Lorraine's Top Tales!
A massive congratulations to the very talented Katie Smith, author of The Pumpkin Project!
And thanks to fellow finalists, Heather Mottershead and James Bishop, it was an incredibly tough decision!
We launched Lorraine's Top Tales back in February and received a staggering 3000 entries!
Our judging panel, including Tom and Nadiya Hussain, whittled those entries down to just three before we set them the task of reading their books to a class of primary school children. They then submitted their final drafts and all the judges reconvened this week to discuss and select the winning book.
