|title=My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish 3: Fins of Fury
Siobhan Dowd wrote just four novels before she died from breast cancer in 2007. All four novels were wonderful and yet they weren't Siobhan's sole legacy to us. Patrick Ness took an idea of hers and, together with artist Jim Kay, turned it into [[A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness|A Monster Calls]], which won both the Carnegie and Greenaway prizes. And now we have ''The Ransom of Dond'', Siobhan's last story.
