Adult learners have voted Adele Parks’ Happy Families (Penguin) their favourite Quick Reads title of 2008.
The Quick Reads Learners’ Favourite Award, which is sponsored by the Department for Innovation, Universities & Skills, was announced last week as part of Adult Learners’ Week.
The vote was conducted via an online poll and voters included adult literacy groups, Union Learning Representatives, library visitors and the general public purchased the books.
Other books on the ten-strong list of World Book Day Quick Reads published on 6th March included Gordon Ramsay's Humble Pie, Chris Ryan's One Good Turn and East End Tales by Gilda O'Neill.
Adele Parks said: "Everybody who gets involved in Quick Reads is committed, we all want to make a difference, and so I’d like to accept this award on behalf of everyone working on this project."
