The nominations for the 2006 Carnegie medal – the UK’s most prestigious children’s literary award – have been unveiled, and titles range from Jeanette Winterson’s ideas-fuelled novel of time and space, Tanglewreck, to Conn and Hal Iggulden’s attempt to get boys climbing trees and building go-carts, The Dangerous Book for Boys.
Guardian Unlimited Books has the full story, which gives a more detailed summary of the nominations.
