Carnegie nomination for The Loneliest Girl in the Universe!

Carnegie

I’m absolutely chuffed to bits that The Loneliest Girl in the Universe is nominated for the 2019 Carnegie medal! I’ve been reading the medal-winning books my whole life, so this feels very surreal and lovely. It’s made even more special because it was nominated by librarians – I love you all and the work you do. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart. Longlist is announced in February, so keep your fingers and toes crossed for me….

Also, I made a lil Venn diagram to show what my next book is going to be about. It zooms off to the printers this week, and I’m going to be waiting by the front door for my first copy to arrive.
