LEISURE: Yeovil Literary Festival at speaker’s debut book prize

ORGANISERS of the Yeovil Literary Festival are delighted that one of last year’s festival speakers, David Solomons, has won the Waterstones Children's Book Prize with his debut novel, My Brother Is A Superhero.

A Festival spokesman said: “David was one of our fantastic speakers during the 2015 Yeovil Literary Festival and so we hope that he will return to the Festival again in the future following this brilliant achievement.”

My Brother is a Superhero is focused on Luke – named after Solomons’ own son – whose brother Zack is given special powers to save two universes.

Screenwriter Solomons had previously adapted E. Nesbit’s Five Children and It for the 2004 film.
