A STOURBRIDGE novelist has been nominated for the Dudley Teenage Book Award.
David Massey has been shortlisted by youngsters who enjoyed his latest thriller, Taken.
Other titles in the running include Dragon Shield by Charlie Fletcher, Half Bad by Sally Green, A Soldier’s Friend by Megan Rix, Dandelion Clocks by Rebecca Westcott and A Boy Called Hope by Lara Williamson.
Teens are now being asked to vote for their favourite of the six finalists.
Councillor Hilary Bills, cabinet member responsible for libraries, said: “A big thank you to the young people who have been involved so far in helping to select the top six books in the running for this year’s award.
“All of the nominated books can be borrowed from any borough library for free so I would encourage as many young people as possible to get borrowing, reading and nominating.”
Youngsters now have until March 13, 2015, to vote for their favourite at www.dudley.gov.uk/resident/libraries-archives/libraries/children-and-young-people/teen-book-award/voting/.
