THE CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL 2009 NOMINATIONS

Please find the original article here.

I am really excited by this list of nomination - some fantastic books on here, some of which I've read and reviewed and some others which I have sitting on my shelf, waiting to be read.

So much is happening in children's publishing and it is thrilling to see. The strength of these books are that they always influence their readers, young or old.

I've put those I own in bold and those that are red and in bold are the ones I've reviewed elsewhere on MFB.
