About the Author:
Anne Fine has been an acknowledged top author in the children's book world since her first book was published in the mid l970s, and has now written more than forty books and won virtually every major award going, including the Carnegie Medal (more than once), the Whitbread Children's Award, the Guardian Children's Fiction Award, the Smarties Prize and others. The Children's Laureate from 2001-2003, Anne is also very funny and young readers love her lack of hypocrisy about the family and her honesty about how people can behave. She lives in the North-East. 'One of the sharpest and most humorous observers of the human condition writing today for the young' School Librarian 'She is translated into 26 languages and has regularly won every major children's literary award in the land, including the Carnegie Medal twice and the Whitbread Children's Novel award twice . . . There are few more influential, or more unfailingly intelligent, authors at work' Scotsman 'A subversively wicked gift for exploring family tensions' Independent
From AudioFile:
Although Francis's British accent gives the story of twins Tom and Cass and the egg book they keep in the icehouse (to record their faults) some appeal, Francis can't make this muddled story shape up. Tom is resentful because Cass is growing away from him, and both siblings carry a grudge against a man who works for their parents killing moles, mice and other unwanted wildlife on their parents' farm. But the story never seems to get to the point--or even know what that point is. M.C. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine
