Everybody Jam by Ali Lewis is shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal

Everybody Jam by Ali Lewis is on the shortlist for the prestigious CILIP Carnegie Medal. Congratulations to Ali from everyone at Andersen Press!

Here are the judges comments:

‘A hugely engaging and enjoyable novel that conveys a terrific sense of place in its vivid descriptions of the brutality – and terrible beauty - of Australian outback life. The voice of the central character Danny is always convincing, and his relationship with his camel surprisingly moving. In fact so real are all the characters that they leave the reader wanting to know more.’
