Patrick Ness wins Guardian prize

A novel for teenagers about a world where thoughts are audible has won this year's Guardian children's fiction prize, says the Guardian announcing its own award.

Patrick Ness's The Knife of Letting Go traces the journey of 12-year-old Todd Hewitt after he is forced to flee the stifling male-only environs of the fantasy pioneer town Prentisstown, where the thoughts of each inhabitant, man and beast, are a never-ending swell of "Noise".
