Very excited about this! I just heard today... This annual children's book award is the bees knees. It's a pretty strong longlist though, there are some meaty authors with mighty pens...
Delighted and not surprised that Elen Caldecott's fabulous 'How Kirsty Jenkins Stole The Elephant' (Bloomsbury) is also there...The shortlist won't be announced until the spring.

I am lobbying your books pretty hard in my school library as of a couple of weeks ago. I read Beast some time ago and loved the mix between the real day to day problems and the amazing beast problem. Great reading it was, yes!
Beast of luck on the Carnegie medal.
