Recently, from the list of nominees for the Carnegie Award for children's fiction and the Kate Greenaway Award for children's illustrated books, we narrowed down our shortlist even further, to just those titles for mysteriously-minded (even horror-loving) kids.
From among our picks, the Carnegie winner is Sally Gardner's Maggot Moon (illustrations by Julian Crouch), and the illustrated book winner is Levi Pinfold's Black Dog. Congratulations!
