Judge’s comment: This is the story of Lizzie, a girl who has to spend the summer away from her friends, and is very unhappy about it until she meets the boy with the red balloon. Who is this lovely boy that make Lizzie forget phubbing* and the lack of wi-fi connection? The illustrations mix pictures and drawings, making faces look real and more relatable
* phubbing = slang for ignoring people to pay attention to one’s phone, from phone + snubbing

Jurors’ comment:Very nice story, intriguing and involving. Clear simple language.

On-line voter’s comment:It is a well written story, with suspense and really good exercises for someone who is not interested in just reading a book.
