A Whit About the Whitbread

The Guardian graciously links its reviews of the Whitbread prize nominees here.

Thanks to the kid-lit blogger Big A little A, I discovered that only one of titles in the children's category—Hilary McKay's Permanent Rose—is available in the States. I've not read any of the Whitbread books, but  Big A little a took a look at McKay's novel earlier this year.
