About Candy Gourlay

Growing up in the Philippines, Candy Gourlay wondered why all the books she'd ever loved didn't resemble her steamy, tropical home in Manila. As a result, it took her years to fulfil her dream of becoming an author – and years to learn that Filipino stories, too, belong in the pages of books. Her latest novel is BONE TALK, set in 1899 and told from the point of view of a boy from a headhunting village during the US invasion of the Philippines. She has just published her first picture book, IS IT A MERMAID – about a dugong who thinks she's a mermaid. Candy's other novels, TALL STORY and SHINE, have been listed for many prizes in the United Kingdom such as the Carnegie Medal and the Guardian Children's Book Prize. Both novels won the Crystal Kite Prize for Europe and Tall Story was awarded the National Children's Book Award in the Philippines.

    Can I find out whether this is 2 prizes or one, please? Do two people get a set of the books each, or one person gets a double set? Thank you.

  6. Jo Cotterill

    Yes, Paula makes a good point. Will there be two winners, maybe? The top two bidders, one set each?
    Anyway, I’m bidding £30 (because I’ve read the first one and it’s very good and I have two daughters who will love them) 🙂

    Hi, I meant it as the two top bidders, yes. Thanks so much to everyone who bid so far! They would make a lovely Christmas present for girls aged 9 – 12 🙂 I will happily sign/ personal message them. Thanks again 🙂
