Anthony McGowan is the Carnegie Medal 2020 winning author of Lark. Sent to Hell for typical teenage misdemeanours, Conor is surprised to find that it's not all pitchforks and leaping flames.

Anthony McGowan made a hilarious debut with Hellbent, a modern take on Dante which manages to mix existentialist and determinist philosophy with quite surprising amounts of poo -- Anthony Horowitz * Sunday Telegraph *
A wisecracking helterskelter. . Real boys' stuff . . . but watch out for a twist in the novel's devilish tail -- Hepzibah Anderson * Observer *
A brilliantly nauseating thriller . . . It is a devilishly funny, clever and moving novel -- Amanda Craig * The Times *
Dante for beginners with a serious moral message -- Geraldine Brennan * TES *
Every writer hates to hear the words "stunning new talent" applied to someone else, but in the case of Anthony McGowan nothing else will do -- Meg Rosoff
