His first book for children, 'Kernowland 1 The Crystal Pool', was published in 2005. KERNOWLAND 1 THE CRYSTAL POOL - 'CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE YEAR 2006' Scott Pack, Head of Buying at Waterstone's Booksellers plc made Kernowland 1 The Crystal Pool a 'Children's Book of the Year 2006': "Jack Trelawny's Kernowland is about as good as they get... first rate... The story takes its brother and sister protagonists to Cornwall and then through a magic cave to Kernowland where adventures ensure. Witty, scary and full of adventure the use of alternative versions of West Country landmarks in the imagined world is very clever and the environmental message a great one for kids."

The comments above appeared under the heading 'Children's Books of the Year' on his Blog page in December 2006.)
