|summary=This lyrical book will enchant teens, tweens and adults alike with its wonderful voice and great story. My tip for the Carnegie.
The rest of the book is written in the same gorgeous style, and it's married to a clever plot, lots of excitement, and one of the most wonderful climaxes for a long, long time. It's also one that I think could open older readers' eyes to the amount of amazing books out there today. This feels, in so many ways, reminiscent of classics like Noel Streatfeild and Joan Aiken that I'd put it towards the top of my list of books to hand to readers who haven't read recent YA. An utterly heartwarming and uplifting book; I have a feeling that this will win the Carnegie.
Another wonderfully lyrical recent release which I'm expecting to be contending for prizes next year is [[The Dark Inside by Rupert Wallis]]. We also have a review of Rundell's [[The Girl Savage by Katherine Rundell|The Girl Savage]].
