Boy in Tights, by Kate Scott, has been nominated for the Lancashire School Library Service Fantastic Book Awards. (FBA) The awards are judged…

…by thousands of children aged 9-11 from primary schools across Lancashire.

Reading and judging will take place between September 2014 and April 2015, before five winners are announced in May 2015.

Joe discovers his parents are spies – which is great. But Joe’s parents are in danger – which is not so great. And Joe has to go undercover as a girl – which is definitely NOT GREAT AT ALL. Joe (now ‘Josephine’) starts his new school miserable in a blonde wig and a dress. But soon he has a spy operation of his own. Joe must face the challenge of a conniving teacher, a football match, a host of unusual spy gadgets – and wearing tights. Can Joe complete the mission without revealing his true identity?
