‘It should be read by everyone.’ — Amanda Craig, The Times. WINNER OF THE 2014 CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL. I can’t believe I fell for it. It was still dark when I woke up this morning. As soon as my eyes opened I knew where I was. A low-ceilinged rectangular building made entirely of whitewashed concrete. Six little rooms along the main corridor. No windows. No doors. The lift is the only way in or out. What’s he going to do to me? What am I going to do? If I’m right, the lift will come down in five minutes. It did. Only this time it wasn’t empty . . . Described as Room meets Lord of the Flies, The Bunker Diary is Kevin Brooks’s pulse-pounding young adult novel about surviving the unthinkable — a book that has earned cult status among teenage readers for its pacey, relentless plotting. Kevin Brooks has won the Branford Boase Award and been shortlisted for the Guardian Children’s Fiction Award, the Booktrust Teenage Prize, the Manchester Book Award and for the Carnegie Medal (for Martyn Pig, Road of the Dead and Black Rabbit Summer). Born in Exeter and educated in Birmingham and London, Kevin held a varied working life — including stints at a crematorium, a zoo, a garage and a post office — before giving it all up to write. He is the author of Being, Black Rabbit Summer, Killing God (published as Dawn in the USA), iBoy and Naked for Penguin, and now lives in North Yorkshire. ****If you enjoyed The Bunker Diary and want to get inside more of your favourite books, then check out spinebreakers.co.uk for exclusive author interviews, competitions and much more.****
