Carnegie Medal 2012

Patrick Ness' novel 'A Monster Calls' has won both the Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Medal this year - a unique achievement in the 75 year history of the awards. There was much support at Kimbolton School for this beautiful yet harrowing tale of Connor and the Yew Tree monster in the lead up to the announcement. 'My sister lives on the mantelpiece' and 'Between shades of gray' also had their champions.
