Neil Gaiman has been awarded the Carnegie Medal 2010 for The Graveyard Book. Earlier this year he won the Newbery Medal (US) and the BookTrust's Teenage Book Award for his book about Bod, the boy brought up by ghosts.
The Kimbolton Shadowing group disagreed with the Carnegie judges, placing Revolver as the favourite with Nation and The Vanishing Act of Katharina Linden as runners-up. See the group's reviews at Kimbolton's Carnegie web page
