Mal Peet

For the past decade Mal Peet quietly accrued literary awards in the UK, the USA and Europe – including The Branford Boase Award, a Nestle Children’s Book Award, The Carnegie Medal and The Guardian Children’s Book Prize as well as a number of American awards. He passed away in 2016 and is sorely missed by both his loving family and the literary world.
