Last week our Carnegie Book Club was delighted to hear that Patrick Ness, author of the brilliant Chaos Walking series had won the Carnegie Prize.  The prize winning book, Monsters and Men is the third in a thrilling trilogy that will have hanging on to the edge of your seat.

Whilst the Carnegie Prize is awarded every year from a list drawn up by a team of librarians, our book club decided there should be an alternative list drawn up by the readers themselves. This year our nominations are:

Un Lun Dun by China Mieville

Gone by Michael Grant

Scat by Carl Hiaason

Gobbolino Prince of Cats by Ursula Williams

Northern Lights by Philip Pullman

The Red Necklace by Sally Gardner

Boys Don’t Cry by Malorie Blackman

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain

We have most of these books in the library, do come up and give them a go, or let us know what your nomination for an alternative book prize would be.
