BBC Radio adaption

I've just added a bit to the article about the BBC adaption that's currently airing on Radio 4. Unfortunately, most of the references being part of the BBC's website, they may well disappear in the future. I got the cast list from the Woman's Hour Drama page but How I Live Now will drop off the bottom of that in just over a week. (Cast list also here but that'll probably go just as quickly.) The press release I've put in as a citation might last 'til January.

The Radio 4 daily schedule seems more stable - you can currently get back as far as 13 September 2005 - although there is the possibility that they remove entires after two years, two months and two days. Also this schedule hardly includes any information, except to prove that it does actually exist. But even if they have better longevity, it'd look a bit silly with all five days' schedules cited right in the article, so I'm sticking them here.

Ann Hulbert

I removed the clause in the introduction claiming that How I Live Now got a negative review by Ann Hulbert in Slate. In fact, if you read the article, the novel is only mentioned once, in a parenthetical note in the seventh paragraph, and nothing negative is ever said specifically about this book -- the article seems to be more a criticism of how books are assigned and taught to children than of the books themselves. 70.18.28.88 (talk) 20:18, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Carnegie longlist

The CILIP Carnegie Medal longlists, so-called in many of our articles, are simply lists of all books nominated (usually about 40 and "we are still checking the eligibility of these titles").this one It isn't notable for a book that has been recognized in several other ways so I have deleted it from what is now called "Runners up, etc". --P64 (talk) 20:15, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

'with her child'

I don't know the plot to verify it, but I believe the strange description of a stepmother who is 'with her child' is a miscorrection. The original text said 'with child', i.e. pregnant. Could somebody with who has read the book fix it? It was changed in this revision:
