Rooftoppers author crowned the overall winner with Holly Smale and Nicola O'Byrne category winners in the award for new and emerging authors and illustrators
Tightrope walker and author Katherine Rundell was last night crowned the overall winner of the 2014 Waterstones children's book prize with Rooftoppers (Faber and Faber). And as the prize is celebrating its 10th birthday, there was an extra special feel to this year's award.
Katherine Rundell fought off tough competition for the top prize from teen category winner Holly Smale with her debut novel Geek Girl (HarperCollins Children's Books) and Nicola O'Byrne who won best picture book category with Open Very Carefully (Nosy Crow).
