Chestnut Roaster nominated for the Carnegie
It’s a fine list of books this year and we’re delighted to see The Chestnut Roaster among them.

When she discovers everyone in Paris has forgotten the entire last year, 1887, including the disappearance of several gifted children, Piaf and her twin brother Luc embark on a dangerous journey that brings them to the depths of Paris’s underground twin, the Catacombs, to capture the memory thief and find the lost children—but are the two connected?
