Frances Hardinge is the author of several books for children, including Cuckoo Song (five starred reviews, short-listed for the Carnegie Medal), The Lost Conspiracy (five starred reviews, Los Angeles Times Book Award Finalist), Fly by Night (short-listed for the Guardian Children’s Book prize), Well Witched (SLJ Best Book of 2008), and Fly Trap (short-listed for the Guardian Prize, long-listed for the Carnegie Medal). She lives in England.
So that’s why Cuckoo Song is not a contender! Nice!
Yep:)
I’d still rather root for Cuckoo Song, but will be happy to read Hardinge where I can get her.
