She won the book of the year category, and best children’s chapter book. “You’ve made a sleep-deprived mother very happy,” said J. K. Rowling in her acceptance speech. The awards were voted for by the reading public. Since this was the first time they were awarded, public awareness was not quite as high as it could have been.
