A group of ten first years, accompanied by Ms Vincze and Mrs Üstün, attended the GCBA ceremony at Aberdeen University.  Three of the shortlisted authors were there – Cathy Cassidy, Cathy Macphail and Nicola Morgan.  Neil Gaiman, Michael Morpurgo and Charlie Higson were represented by Caroline Clough, an author based here in the north east.  She talked a little about her book, Red Fever, which is set in the north east.  I’m looking forward to reading it.
