DREAM TEAM WINNERS!
Saturday 9th July 2011
OK… here it is… the moment you’ve all been waiting for! After much deliberation and discussion Puffin have picked seven new readers to join the CC DREAM TEAM… read on and find out who they are!
All winners have been informed by email, but in case you haven’t checked your mail lately, here we go… First of all, for the new Irish DREAM TEAM… congratulations to the following readers.
From Connaght, NADA NEWESSER; from Leinster, JANE FINNEGAN; from Munster, NORA FARRELL; and from Ulster, LEILA O NEILL. Well done to all who tried out for the Irish DREAM TEAM – picking just four was an almost impossible task.
To join the mainland UK DREAM TEAM, three more lucky readers have been chosen – congratulations to JULIANNE DOHERTY; EMILY MURRILLS; and ALICE BAXTER. Again, it was a very tough task, so a BIG thank you to all who entered – I have the best readers in the world, and if I had my way, I’d have picked you all!
Keep an eye on the DREAM TEAM link over the next few months… soon you will be able to see pics of the new Dream Teamers and find out more about them… it’s going to be VERY cool!
Last but not least, my book Cherry Crush has won the 2011 Redbridge Children’s Book Award… woo hoo! Thanks to all the fab children of Redbridge who voted for the book, and to the librarians and teachers too.
Well done again to the new Dream Teamers… do YOU have any ideas for how they should spread the word about my books?

Awww! I really wanted to win that! Oh well… Maybe I have a chance in the writing comp. CC, I am your No. 1 fan!!! I’ve got all your books so far! Xx 😀
congratulations to all the dream team winners, sad that I didn’t ge tin but happy for them. Also congratulations cathy cherry crush deserved to wint he redbridge childrens book award 2011!!! :O)
oh, cathy!! my entry was the best, and you didnt pick me. I actually cried when i found out. 🙁
To ‘Annoyed’ – Puffin picked the winners, as they will be working directly with the Dream team. The standard was seriously high and I know it was a tough task to choose, but when you enter ANY comp you have to have a positive attitude about it – not everyone can be a winner, so if you are not able to cope with the possibility you may not be picked it may be better not to enter. I am so sorry you feel upset, as I know my readers amazing, creative and brilliant – but sadly only a few entrants could be picked out of the many hundreds who entered. I value ALL my readers, and never see any of them as ‘losers’ in any way… but perhaps the only way to keep everyone happy is to stop having comps at all? I think that would be so sad though! Sending a hug. xxx
Oh no, I didn’t win! 🙁 But in the end, it’s the taking part that counts, right? I’m just kind of raging that I didn’t win as I doubt I’ll be able to enter again before I’m sixteen, as I’m 14 now. Oh, well, maybe I should give the writing comp a shot…but hey! The above entries were obviously the best, and the best always win, right? 🙂 xxx
Ah never mind I didn’t win! Not the end of the world eh?! Well done to the winners! You should be very proud! x
