Formally the Whitbread Book Award, a new sponsor (Costa) has taken the helm of these prestigious awards and this year encourages us to put up our feet with a good book and a 'great cup of coffee'.

The children's book of the year category winner has been announced and Linda Newbery, a former Whitbread Book of the Year judge has won with Set in Stone.

The children's book of the year shortlist featured a strong list of titles including David Almond's Clay and Just in Case by Meg Rosoff.
This years' judging panel for the children's award includes : Geraldine Brennan, Books Editor for The TES, author, Adele Geras and Brian Pattinson, the manager of The Book House.

The five Costa Book Award category winners, each of whom will receive £5,000, were selected from 580 entries, the highest total ever received in one year.  The five books are now eligible for the ultimate prize - the 2006 Costa Book of the Year which is due to be announced on Wednesday 7th February at an awards ceremony in Central London.
