Carnegie/Kate Greenaway medals 2012
Congratulations to my favourite children's author Patrick Ness on winning the Carnegie Medal for the second year running!
A Monster Calls also won the Kate Greenaway medal for its incredible illustrations by artist Jim Kay.
The book tells the story of 13 year old Conor who is trying to come to terms with his mother's cancer. Ness' wonderful storytelling is perfectly complemented by Kay's atmospheric illustrations.
Rachel Levy, chair of the Carnegie judges, described A Monster Calls as "an exquisite piece of writing.
We'd go so far as to say that this is one of the defining books of its generation."
A well deserved win - read it if you haven't already!
