One of the children’s books that a former headteacher of a school in Warwickshire has published since he stopped teaching is up for a national prize.
For his book Alice and the Almigator, Gary Murrell, a former student of Priors School in Priors Marston, has been selected as a finalist in this year’s Wishing Shelf Book Awards for independent authors.
Children from elementary schools throughout the UK judge for the prize.
Young Alice from Northamptonshire starts a mysterious and unusual friendship with a legendary sea creature while on vacation in Cornwall.
She quickly discovers the terrible impact plastic pollution is having on marine life and the harm it poses to humans.
