This month, we're returning to [[The Baby And Fly Pie by Melvin Burgess]]. First published in 1993, it is the latest in Andersen's series of reissues of Melvin Burgess's novels for younger readers. It was shortlisted for the Carnegie prize and it's easy to see why. Energetic and thrilling story for middle to early teen readers, set in an alternate London and telling the story of street children given a slim chance to change their destiny. This blast from the past is a troubling but beautiful read.
