David Solomons beats JK Rowling, Terry Pratchett and David Walliams in the British Book Industry awards with his debut children’s book – and we caught up with him at the ceremony
Congratulations are in order for David Solomons, who was awarded Children’s Book of the Year at the British Book Industry Awards last night for his debut novel, My Brother is a Superhero, beating JK Rowling, David Walliams and Terry Pratchett to the prize!
His winning book follows the story of a young comic book buff who during a trip to the loo, inadvertently passes up the chance to receive superpowers from a powerful alien. When his older, geeky brother receives them – along with a mission to save the universe - in his stead, he finds that it takes more than superhuman abilities to be a hero.
