This issue’s cover illustration is from The Brides of Rollrock Island by Margo Lanagan. Thanks to David Fickling Books for their help with this January cover.

Ten authors have made the shortlist for the 2010 Queen of Teen award, its breathless organisers have announced.

The authors are Cathy Cassidy, Jacqueline Wilson, Chris Higgins, Joanna Nadin, Sarah Webb, Sarra Manning, Helen Bailey, Samantha Mackintosh, Louise Rennison and Cathy Hopkins.

Teens and tweens can now vote for their favourite author from the shortlist by visiting www.queenofteen.co.uk. The first Queen of Teen contest attracted tens of thousands of votes from young readers across the globe and resulted in Louise Rennison being crowned Queen.

The award will be presented at a glittering award ceremony in September 2010, when the writers of the best nominations will be invited to mingle with their favourite authors, invited journalists and other special guests.
