十月（October）和她的爸爸一起生活在树林里。他们住在爸爸建造的房子里，吃自己在菜地里种的蔬菜。他们对这里的树木、岩石、湖泊和星星非常熟悉，就像对最好的朋友一样。他们一遍又一遍地阅读他们在城里买的书，读了太多次，就连书也都变黄了。他们只有在第二年再去城里时，才能买新的书。他们住在树林里，自由狂野。

生活一直是这样。

直到十月度过11岁生日。那一年，十月成就了一只猫头鹰宝宝。那也是她的爸爸从森林里最大的树上掉下来的一年，那一年，自称是十月母亲的女人回来了。那一年，一切都变得和原来不一样了。

卡提亚•巴伦用她那优美灵动，令人心驰神往的风格把这本书写就而成，它就像一场感官盛宴，充满了秋高气爽早晨的木烟味和河泥中咯吱作响的雨靴声。当十月再森林之外的世界里寻找狂野的空间时，读者也随之经历了一场灵魂的盛宴。

We are delighted to say that Katya Balen’s October, October, has won the Yoto Carnegie 2022 Medal.  And also delighted to say that it has also won the Carnegie Shadowers’ Choice Award, which is judged by young people in schools, libraries, reading groups and individually, who ‘shadow’ the Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Medal judging process, reading, discussing and reviewing the books on the shortlists and voting for their favourites.

Wednesday 16^th February 2022: The UK’s longest running and best-loved book awards for children and young people, the Yoto Carnegie Greenaway Awards, today announced the shortlists for 2022.

• Acclaimed authors Katya Balen, Phil Earle, Alex Wheatle progress from Yoto Carnegie longlist to shortlist for the first time; and four debuts are recognised – Sue Divin for the Carnegie and George Butler, Danica Novgorodoff and Peter Van den Ende on the Yoto Kate Greenaway list
• Second novels from 2021 Carnegie Shadowers’ Choice winner Manjeet Mann and 2017 Carnegie shortlisted author Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock secure a place on the shortlist; while double Kate Greenaway Medal winners Sydney Smith (2018 & 2021) and Emily Gravett (2005 & 2008) have a shot at a third Medal. 
• Six of the eight Yoto Carnegie shortlisted books are based on real-world events – from Tacky’s War to WWII; the legacy of the Troubles to the refugee crisis; the 2011 Japanese tsunami to the Central Park Exonerated Five case – with many demonstrating the power of friendship to help young people overcome challenges and celebrate difference.
• The judges’ selection champions pictures and their ability to communicate with readers and help them understand the world, with two wordless picture books on the Yoto Kate Greenaway list and two illustrated titles up for the Yoto Carnegie Medal, including one featuring manga.
