His debut novel, The Trouble with Donovan Croft, published in 1974, won "The Other Award", an alternative to the Carnegie Medal.[2] A Kind of Wild Justice (1978), Running Scared (1986), and Little Soldier (1999) were commended runners up for the Carnegie Medal from the Library Association, recognising the year's best children's book.[3][a] The first two have been reissued by OUP in their Children's Modern Classics series, the third re-issued in a 15th anniversary edition.
