The Graveyard Book won the 2009 Newbery Medal
The Graveyard Book is written by Gaiman and illustrated by Dave McKean. A delicious mix of murder, fantasy, humor and human longing, the tale of Nobody Owens is told in magical, haunting prose. A child marked for death by an ancient league of assassins escapes into an abandoned graveyard, where he is reared and protected by its spirit denizens.
"A child named Nobody, an assassin, a graveyard and the dead are the perfect combination in this deliciously creepy tale, which is sometimes humorous, sometimes haunting and sometimes surprising," said Newbery Committee Chair Rose V. Treviño.

Breaking Dawn
The fourth book in the Twilight Saga was welcomed by readers at the Uppsala English Bookshop.
The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award winner 2008 is Sonya Hartnett
The jury’s motivation:
“Sonya Hartnett (Australia) is one of the major forces for renewal in modern young adult fiction. With psychological depth and a concealed yet palpable anger, she depicts the circumstances of young people without avoiding the darker sides of life. She does so with linguistic virtuosity and a brilliant narrative technique; her works are a source of strength.”
Doris Lessing -
The Nobel Prize in Literature 2007
With the words "that epicist of the female experience, who with scepticism, fire and visionary power has subjected a divided civilisation to scrutiny", Doris Lessing is awarded.
