Congratulations to author Jenny Blackford on being awarded
The Davitt Award for Best Children’s Crime Novel
for her junior fiction book The Girl in the Mirror, which was published in October 2019 by Eagle Books, an imprint of Christmas Press. The book is based on a story that originally appeared in The School Magazine. The Sisters-in-Crime present six Davitt Awards annually, including the Best Children's Crime Novel.
The judges called the book:
a refreshingly contemporary time-slip mystery... Jenny Blackford has captured the pains of early adolescence – loneliness, fear, uncertainty – in a gripping mystery that is perfectly pitched to the middle readers who will love it.
