A MONSTER CALLS Carnegie / Kate Greenaway Medals

A quick, rarer Thursday post today, to celebrate the fantastic news that Patrick Ness has won the Carnegie Medal for A MONSTER CALLS - which also won the Kate Greenaway Medal for its illustrations.

The Guardian Books Announcement

You can see the book trailer just a few posts down (Or here if you're that lazy!). My wife and I are working through the audio book, as read by Jason Issacs, whenever we're in the car together - which, as it so happens, we will be today. A lot. I am so glad for this, and find myself suddenly wishing for heavy traffic jams / perhaps some roadworks, to help us get through more of the story.

Congratulations to Patrick and Jim Kay for this great, great book.
