I remember balling my eyes out when it was announced on stage that I had won Jhalak Prize - I am sure Nathanael Lessore was more composed and probably cracked a joke or two. #KingofNothing #JhalakPrize2025

Huge congratulations to all the winners. King of Nothing by Nathanael Lessore is such an amazing book 💜






Congratulations to Nathanael Lessore on winning the Jhalak Prize for children's and teenage literature. I loved, loved, loved, this book 💜
