The Branford Boase Award is a British literary award presented annually to an outstanding children's or young-adult novel by a first-time writer; "the most promising book for seven year-olds and upwards by a first time novelist."[1] The award is shared by both the author and their editor, which The Oxford Companion to Children's Literature noted is unusual for literary awards.[2]
