Summary:

Out of this Word! The entries for the 2014 Cheshire Prize for Literature were excellent. Lucky judges read wonderfully crafted, original poems and stories written by adults for young readers aged between seven and fourteen. This anthology includes the very best of them. There are pieces which will make you shiver; others will take you back to half-forgotten places and times; some will ask you to experience the familiar with a new intensity while others will invite you into the impossible. All are crafted with skill and flair. It is remarkable what a great writer can create out of words alone.
