particular merit - the finalists. From these fifteen, the ERF will select
one winner in each of five categories taking into account the votes
and comments of students and teachers of English worldwide.

The author does well to keep the language
relatively simple without sacrificing the feel
of the story. Full of action from start to
finish and this will appeal to young readers.
