Age group

(quote) "Here Lies Arthur won the Carnegie Medal [2] in 2008 and the Nestlé Children's Book Prize Bronze Award in 2007,[3]"

Does the latter mean that Here Lies Arthur ranked third in the voting by children age 9 to 11?

Whatever it means, it's unique if i skim correctly. I don't see another Carnegie Medal winner, nor any Guardian Award winner, among the Nestle Smarties medalists, 9 to 11 years (the oldest age category for those prizes). --P64 (talk) 17:09, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it does mean that. Not unique, though: The Other Side of Truth by Beverley Naidoo won the Silver Medal in 2000 as well as the Carnegie Medal. Robina Fox (talk) 21:58, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

Beside the Carnegie Medal citation (book and author blurbs) that is now referenced in the article [ref name=medal2008], contemporary press releases are available online.

[ref name=prdir2008] "Releases for 2008 Awards". Press Desk. CILIP. Retrieved 2012-07-30.[/ref]

Two releases 26 June 2008 feature Reeve and Here Lies Arthur. Two earlier releases 18 April 2008 may be useful, "Shortlist ... announced" and "... Judges comments on the shortlist".

The CILIP "Shadowing Site" seems at a glance to serve a youth program for the current/latest year, without any archive, but old material may be available.
