Many congratulations to Leon Davidson, whose fantastic history of the Anzacs on the Western Front, Zero Hour, won in the non-fiction category at last night’s New Zealand Post Children’s Book Awards.

The New Zealand Post Children’s Book Awards celebrate excellence in children’s literature, recognising the best books for children and teenagers published annually in New Zealand.

Zero Hour is the third book by Leon Davidson, author of the best-selling and multi-award-winning Scarecrow Army: the Anzacs at Gallipoli and Red Haze: Australians & New Zealanders in Vietnam.

Well done, Leon!
