Philip Reeve has won the 2006 Guardian Children's book Prize. The other shortlisted authors were Frank Cottrel Boyce, Patrick Cave and Frances Hardynge, all of whom attended the prize announcement at the Guardian Newsroom on Thursday 28th September. Patrick Cave seems to have avoided the ACHUKA camera and hence is not featured in the gallery.

Congratulations to Philip Reeve. I'm not familiar with the work of the others (though I once had a rather good meal in Cambridge with Patrick Cave). Good photographs, too. Hmm....who has the longest beard: Mr Thorn or Mr Ardagh?
