The Angus Book Award is a literary award for UK authors of teenage fiction. It is awarded by Angus Council in Scotland.[1] The award is decided by the votes of the secondary schools in Angus. The pupils host the awards every year. The ceremony is hosted by a different school each year. For example, in 2007 the award was hosted in Arbroath High School by Christy Scott and Jason McNulty both of which were current third year pupils.
