October, October by Katya Balen
Shortlisted for the 2022 CILIP Carnegie Medal
Times Children's Book of the Week
A classic in the making for anyone who ever longed to be WILD. October and her dad live in the woods. They know the trees, the rocks, the lake, and the stars like best friends. They are wild, and that's the way it is. Until the year October turns eleven.
That's the year October rescues a baby owl. It's the year Dad falls out of the biggest tree in their woods. The year the woman who calls herself October's mother comes back. The year everything changes.
Written in Katya Balen's heart-stoppingly beautiful style, this book is a feast for the senses, filled with the woodsmoke smell of crisp autumn mornings and the sound of wellies squelching in river mud. As October fights to find the space to be wild in the whirling chaos of the world beyond the woods, it is also a feast for the soul.
