Jalopy by Geraldine Mccaughrean

Jalopy by Geraldine Mccaughrean

Jalopy is a brand new, shiny red car won in a competition by Mrs Ethel Thomas, but Mrs Thomas can't drive, so sadly she puts Jalopy up for sale. Before she can sell Jalopy, petty crooks Masher and Spud, who need a get-away car for their next bank robbery, steal the car.

Geraldine McCaughrean has written over 140 books and plays for both adults and children, including Peter Pan in Scarlet, the official sequel to J M Barrie's Peter Pan, which was one of the most talked about and successful children's titles of 2006. Geraldine McCaughrean has won the Carnegie Medal, the Whitbread Children's Book Award (three times), the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize, the Smarties Bronze Award (four times), the Blue Peter Book of the Year award and the Blue Peter Special Book to Keep Forever award. Geraldine is the first author to have been short listed, by librarians, for the Carnegie Medal six times, on at least one occasion in each of the past four decades, thus once again recognising the quality of her writing over the years. Geraldine McCaughrean's novels and retellings for children have won her the CARNEGIE MEDAL, GUARDIAN CHILDREN'S FICTION AWARD, WHITBREAD AWARD and THE BEEFEATER AWARD. A prolific author who writes for all ages, she lives in Berkshire with her family. Visit her website at www.geraldinemccaughrean.co.uk
