My book on the history of toilets is a finalist for a prize for "good science books [that] encourage children and young adults to turn to
science books, not only for information, but for enjoyment too".
I'm really pleased the panel considered my book enjoyable: I aimed for that.
And it's in good company:
I have no idea what happens if it wins--except they give me an airplane ticket and a hotel room so I can attend the awards ceremony in Washington, DC, aka Bedbug Capital.
(Ceremony? Like, I'd have to buy clothes to attend?)
I think I'd choose How to Clone a Mammoth, myself.
