CILIP Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Medal Winners 2018


The CILIP Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Medals are the UK's oldest and most prestigious children's book awards. Often described by authors and illustrators as 'the one they want to win' - they are the gold standard in children's literature.

If you want your kids to broaden their reading, why not encourage them to try some of the titles shortlisted for these awards. All the books are available for loan or to reserve from Torfaen Libraries.

The CILIP Carnegie Medal is awarded by children's librarians for an outstanding book written in English for children and young people.


Winner 
Geraldine McCaughrean – Where the World Ends

In the summer of 1723, 8 boys and 3 men were marooned on a rocky stack in the middle of the sea at the edge of the Outer Hebrides. This book tells the story of how they survived nine months of deadly storms, madness and starvation with only a few ropes and baskets, and their own fortitude and endurance to save them.
