April 2012 Book of the Month.

Winner of the YoungMinds Book Award 2010.

This was a self-publishing YA phenomenon in 2010 and winner of the above award beating the likes of Julia Donaldson and Bali Rai.  Then it was bought by Egmont in order to get this terrific debut to a wider audience.  Poignant, uplifting and funny, with a truly authentic young teen voice, this is an absorbing tale about never giving up on your dreams, no matter how tough life gets. It's the story of 14 year old Georgie, an outsider both at school and at home.  She's dreading the summer holidays until she takes the plunge and emails the one person she feels might understand her and he just happens to be a soap opera star...

And a message from the Commissioning Editor at Egmont, Ali Dougal, who acquired Dear Dylan:

Siobhan's voice is so warm and convincing that it took me straight back to being a teenager: the extremes of emotion, the rushes of humiliation, the desperate need to be accepted and understood, the huge crushes that feel like true love, the uncontrollable laughter.  The story deals with some really tough emotional issues, offering comfort, hope and joy.  It's such an uplifting read. I hope you love this book as much as I do.
