Carnegie Medal Shortlist Announced

Carnegie medal judges draw up 'boysy' shortlist

Judges of Britain's oldest children's book award focus on stories about 'what it feels like to be a boy'
guardian.co.uk, Friday 24 April 2009

The seven books on the list are

Frank Cottrell Boyce: Cosmic
Kevin Brooks: Black Rabbit Summer
Eoin Colfer: Airman
Siobhan Dowd: Bog Child
Keith Gray: Ostrich Boys
Patrick Ness: The Knife of Never Letting Go

There are copies of all titles in the Library. Why not read them all and let us know which one you think is the "outstanding" children's book of the year. A warning though; the Kevin Brooks is unsuitable for younger readers.
