Beth Montgomery’s Murderer’s Thumb has been selected for The White Ravens 2009. These 250 outstanding new international books for children and young adults are selected by the Internationale Jugend Bibliothek (International Youth Library) in München, from the thousands that they receive for review from around the world each year.

Every year, the selected books are exhibited at the Library’s stand at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue with book details and a short review of each title.
