The Children’s Booker Prize is a new annual prize and is supported by AKO Foundation. Its aim is to celebrate the best fiction for children aged eight to 12 years old and to cultivate young readers. The selected three children will help to judge the shortlisted 8 books alongside adult judges: Frank Cottrell-Boyce, Lolly Adefope and Sanchita Basu De Sarker.
