The category winners in the 2014 Costa Book Award have been announced, with a First World War adaptation of E Nesbitt's Five Children and It winning in the Children's Book category. Five Children on the Western Front, by journalist and children's writer Kate Saunders, was called "a modern masterpiece" by the judges for moving Nesbitt's original characters into the trenches of the First World War. The book also revives Nesbitt's character the Psammead, whom the grown children must help to return home.
