The Jhalak Children’s & Young Adult Prize 2022 Winner
It is our great pleasure to confirm Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths by Maisie Chan as the winner of the Jhalak Children’s and Young Adult Prize.
A wonderfully endearing story of family, expectation and creativity, Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths focuses on the eponymous budding artist who is forced to 'babysit' his ex-maths champion grandmother when she visits from China.
‘A hilarious, heartwarming read that is timely and timeless and will surely become a beloved book of middle grade readers. It is also one of the rare - and brilliant - representations of British Chinese families in children's literature today.’
