The CILIP Carnegie Medal Shortlist 2008
Tricia Adams, Chair of the Judges, comments on the CILIP Carnegie 2008 shortlist:
"As adept storytellers and masters of their craft, these writers employ great lightness of touch in dealing with eternal themes from an historical perspective. Each one illuminates something different about the world we live in today, making the past accessible and relevant to the present. This is strong, imaginative writing for young people that unlocks history way beyond the classroom."
