Booktrust teenage prize shortlist spans time, space and genre
Novels nominated range from Mugabe's Zimbabwe to ancient Greece, tales of teen heartbreak to zombie mayhem
Zombies, centaurs and Robert Mugabe all feature on the shortlist of a prize for teenage reading that ranges far and wide, in terms of both geography and genre. From ancient Greece to Zimbabwe in the 1980s, the Arctic Circle to New York, the contenders for the Booktrust teenage prize also encompass a previous winner and two first-time novelists.
