We are delighted to announce that A Monster Tea at the Palace has been awarded a children’s book prize.
We’ve had a lot of exciting news recently, but perhaps none is more exciting than the announcement that this brilliantly royal children’s story by Rebecca McDowall and Lorna Gray has won the Golden Wizard Book Prize 2023. We couldn’t be more excited. Would you believe that the news came in over the Coronation weekend? (We didn’t either, but it’s true!)
High praise from the Judges: “An absolutely sensational read. I can see it becoming a worldwide phenomenon, and deservedly so”
We’re itching to reprint with a gold badge on the cover …
“Writing birthday telegrams – the Queen’s favourite time of day. Bringing joy to all who opened them, both near and far away …”
But wait! Oh no! Queen Liz has missed her oldest friend Nessie’s birthday! A royal invitation to come to the palace is quickly sent – and the chef needs help choosing the menu. But what does a queen give a monster for tea? And what astonishing secret has Nessie been hiding all this time?
This is a very royal story about the day the Loch Ness Monster met the Queen in a new chapter book edition for young readers.
