For the second time this year, The Further Adventures of Pengey Penguin has been awarded top honors in a national literary competition.
The award for the 325 page novel was announced today at a press conference in Los Angeles, California, by Jeffery Keen President and CEO of JPX Media and USA Book News.
“Everyone at Pengey.com is jubilant over the news.” said Leslie Farnsworth Spokesperson for San Francisco Story Works and Pengey.com. “We all knew just how exciting and poignant the story in Pengey Two was, but it’s not until you’ve heard how wonderful it is, or how deeply moved someone was that the feeling really sinks in. This is particularly amazing when you consider the enormous amount of work that the judges had in front of them.”
“If we had received the news later in the day,” said Miss Farnsworth, “we would have opened the champaign immediately. We’ll just have to wait until 5 PM when the office closes.” She added, “This is really exciting. Yippie!”
The Further Adventures of Pengey Penguin was selected in this years Best Books competition from over eight thousand children’s books that were entered. We are deeply honored with the award of Top Ten children’s novels released in the year 2008.
In May of 2008 Pengey Two was selected as One of the Top Five Books, in the category of Juvenile Fiction by the judges of the Next Generation Indie Book Awards.
We have only entered three contests this year and the last will be decided in March of ’09. That will be the Benjamin Franklin Awards. We’ll let you know how we did with it.
But for right now we are celebrating, our Finalist Award from The National Best Book Awards.
