Yoto Carnegies 2023 - Winners Announced!

The winners of this year's prestigious Yoto Carnegies (formerly the CILIP Carnegie and Greenaway Awards) were announced today! 

The overall winner of the Carnegies Medal for Writing was Manon Steffan Ros for The Blue Book of Nebo, a haunting post apocalyptic story that leaves you wanting more.  The Carnegie Shadower’s Choice was the heartbreakingly moving historical novel, I Must Betray You by former Carnegie winner Ruta Septys. 

The ceremony was streamed live from the Barbican Centre and hosted by the former Children's Laureate, author and illustrator Lauren Child. Our Shadowing Group, the Eden Park Readers, gathered in the Lower Library to watch and there was much discussion and debate over donuts and strawberries.  All agreed that they loved being part of the group and can't wait for next year!
