CARNEGIE SHORTLIST
Carnegie Medal Shortlist
There are five books on the shortlist for the prestigious Carnegie Medal. Last year Frank Cottrell Boyce won the award with his novel, Millions. This year his latest novel has been shortlisted. Framed is set in a small Welsh village and tells the story of a family who own the garage at the foot of a mountain. Make sure you check out this book in the library. David Almond has also previously won the award with his book, Skellig, and he is shortlisted again with a thought-provoking book, Clay. Geraldine McCaughrean's books are always outstanding and The White Darkness was also on the shortlist for the Whitbread Award. Jan Mark, another outstanding author, died unexpectedly and suddenly in January and she is shortlisted posthumously for her novel, Turbulence. Finally Mal Peet, author of Keeper, is shortlisted for his World War Two novel, Tamar.
