2011 Carnegie Medal

The Carnegie medal is an annual award given to the writer of an outstanding book for children. The award was established in 1939 in memory of Scottish philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, and is awarded by libraians who nominate titles for the shortlist.

This year’s winner is Patrick Ness for Monsters of Men. Monsters is the third installment in Ness’s Chaos Walking series. The previous two books – The Knife of Never Letting Go and The Ask and the Answer – were shortlisted for the Carnegie in 2009 and 2010 – this is the first time in the prize’s history that all the books in a series have been contenders.

The trilogy has been highly awarded; from the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize to the Booktrust Teenage Prize while Monsters of Men was shortlisted earlier this year for the Arthus C Clarke Award, making it only the second young adult work to have been considered for the celebrated science fiction prize.

Ferelith Hordon, chair of the Carnegie 2011 judging panel, called Monsters of Men an “extraordinary achievement”.

“Within its pages, Patrick Ness creates a complex other world, giving himself and the reader great scope to consider big questions about life, love and how we communicate, as well as the horrors of war, and the good and evil that mankind is capable of,” she said. “It’s an enthralling read that is well nigh impossible to put down.”

Past winners include some of the best-loved names in children’s literature, from Arthur Ransome, who took the inaugural prize in 1936, to CS Lewis, Philip Pullman, Terry Pratchett and Anne Fine.

A huge congratulations to you Patrick Ness.

UK Award Short Lists

The shortlists have been announced for the 2011 Carnegie Medal and the 2011 Kate Greenaway Medal.These awards are widely acknowledged to be the UK’s most prestigious children’s book awards.

This is considered to be one of the strongest lists of recent years, with the shortlist for the Kate Greenaway Medal including no less than five former winners. Current Children’s Laureate Anthony Browne is also on the shortlist and should he win he will be the first illustrator to win the award three times.

The Carnegie Medal shortlist is dominated once again by books for teenagers and includes Jason Wallace’s Costa Award winner Out of Shadows and Monsters of Men, the third volume in Patrick Ness’s Chaos Walking trilogy.

The winners will be announced at a ceremony on Thursday 23rd June.
