The judges' verdict on Sue's story was "A beguiling, beautifully written tale of lost and found".
Runner up was 14-year-old Iona Mandal, with her story Belonging, about cultural recognition, and there were two highly commended stories: French Missile by Louise Eileen Woof and The Eleventh Hour by J R Armstrong-Gregson.
