Cattapan’s debut novel Angelhood has already won two other awards: a gold medal from the Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards and an honorable mention from Readers’ Favorite Book Awards.

The winners of the Carol Awards will be announced at a gala dinner in Nashville on August 27. Cattapan’s second book, a middle grade mystery entitled Seven Riddles to Nowhere, is set to release a few days later.
