We are delighted to announce that Angels, Rachel Churcher’s new YA novel, has been chosen as a finalist for the 2023 Wishing Shelf Book Awards! It’s in the ‘Books for Teenagers’ category, and we’re absolutely thrilled that the judges found it worthy of a finalist’s place.
Why does this nomination mean so much? Most book awards are judged by adults. The Wishing Shelf Book Awards are judged by readers in the age group the book is aimed at. In the case of the teenage section, the books were read and judged by reading groups in UK secondary schools. In order to win a place in the finals, the books were marked according to editing, theme, style and cover. Angels made the finalist cut!
Pick up your copy of Angels today!
The final winners will be announced on April 1st. Watch this space for further announcements …

It’s here – the cover reveal for our new UKYA contemporary novel (with a twist …) from award-winning author Rachel Churcher!
What’s the book about?
Angels have lived among us for as long as we can remember. They don’t have powers, but they do have wings. They’ve always hidden their wings, and who they are – until Kane.
Melodie Abbot remembers the day she saw Kane’s taboo-shattering billboard. A beautiful model showing his wings on Oxford Street, on a photo as tall as a building.
When sixteen-year-old Mel finally meets her idol, disaster strikes. Can she find a way to free herself from his shadow, and what will her future hold?
Angels is a coming-of-age story, a university heartbreak novel with a twist, a celebration of friendship and desire, and an exploration of attraction, identity and self-expression.
It takes courage to find your wings …
We’ll be launching the book in November. Keep an eye out for more announcements!
