Carnegie Medal short list
Yes, we thought we’d done this because, when the list was announced last week, all the titles were so familiar. And that’s because they have (nearly) all been reviewed in Fiction Focus. Been there, done that we thought … but no. So here is the 2008 shortlist for the prestigious Carnegie Medal, won last year by Meg Rosoff for Just in Case.
2008 Carnegie Medal shortlisted books
- Kevin Crossley-Holland - Gatty’s Tale
- Linzi Glass - Ruby Red (not yet reviewed, but we loved The Year the Gypsies Came, her 2006 title)
- Elizabeth Laird - Crusade
- Tanya Landman - Apache
- Philip Reeve - Here Lies Arthur
- Meg Rosoff - What I Was
- Jenny Valentine - Finding Violet Park
Also announced were the Kate Greenaway Medal shortlisted titles, which are also reviewed in our Resource Bank. Go to the Primary Focus blog to read more about these.
