On winning the Whitbread Children's Award:
'I was nervous of people even liking this novel, let alone thinking it merited an award. And when I saw the other books shortlisted, I stopped even daydreaming about winning. It is wonderful – more so, not less, for being the third time. In this business you keep waiting to pass out of fashion, or for the knack to abandon you. This prize is my licence to go on doing what I do. I couldn't be more pleased if I was a tiger at the zoo and someone forgot to lock the cage door.'
