The judging gets harder everytime! It's so hard to have to say goodbye to so many talented authors and their books! It's important for them to remember though, that their books are good! Their having made it this far proves that! Please do not be disheartened! Remember the saying:

If at first you don't succeed, try again!

The judging was done pretty much the same way as Round 1, only this time it was based on the first two chapters. Each judge ranked their books out of 10. You didn't have to get too low a score to be eliminated, it was just that maybe someone else had a better one. All the books had a score above 17/30. 

We hope you learnt from this experience and that we'll see you next season!
