It was really difficult to get the list down as there are so many great books this year!
So many questions: can Tinder do the double - nominated for the Carnegie and the Greenaway? Might we have a "middle grade" funny winner that no one will complain about? Will Patrick Ness win again? Take a look at all the details, including the fabulous Greenaway nominations, on the official CKG site.
