Saskatoon Author Makes Good In UK

Alice Kuipers, a resident of Saskatoon, recently won the British Redbridge Book Award for her teen book Life on the Refrigerator Door. The book is called a novel by the publisher, but it is not written in a typical novel format - rather, it is made up of post-it notes written between a mother and her daughter and stuck to their refrigerator for the other to read.

I have not yet read the book, but I look forward to doing so eventually. I have been excited about it since the 2007 Saskatchewan Book Awards in November, where it won the Best First Book Award.

Congratulations to Alice on this international achievement.


I'll be posting a book review before the weekend, so keep watching!

That sounds like a neat book. I kind of want to read it.
