Just found out I've been shortlisted for the very, very excellent BookTrust Teenage Prize for my book The Knife of Never Letting Go (and here if you're American, where it comes out next week), which is just brilliant, frankly (the shortlisting, that is).  I even did a little interview for the Guardian about it (and here it is, up already), though I've no idea if I said anything interesting or coherent.

The shortlist is here on Bookheads and is a fairly dark, exciting list.  And my publisher (the esteemed Walker Books) has three of the titles, so, go team!

Seriously, a cool thing, this.
