There is manifold Celebration in the House of Onion.
Tales from Outer Suburbia by Shaun Tan has won the 2008 Aurealis Award for Best Illustrated/Graphic Novel.
The Judges said:
'Tales from Outer Suburbia was a standout that was chosen unanimously by the judges as this year's winner. The writing and artwork are tremendously accomplished and come together magically. A truly marvellous example of how text, image and layout can come together to make up a great deal more than the sum of their parts.'
We say: Well done, Shaun!
Tender Morsels by Margo Lanagan is a 2009 Printz Honour Book.
The judges said:
'In utterly original language, Lanagan re-imagines “Snow White and Rose Red” and explores the brutality and beauty of life.'
We say: Hooray for Margo! *
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman has won the 2009 Newbery Medal .
The judges said: 'A delicious mix of murder, fantasy, humor and human longing, the tale of Nobody Owens is told in magical, haunting prose.'
We say: Three cheers for Neil!
* And well done Melina Marchetta for winning the Printz. Go Aussie!
