Three years later, she won the Carnegie Medal again for ''[[Flour Babies]]'' (Hamilton, 1992), which was also named the Whitbread Children's Book of the Year.
''The Tulip Touch'' (Hamilton, 1996) was her second Whitbread winner and her second highly commended for the Carnegie.

''Up on Cloud Nine'' (Doubleday, 2002) was the last highly commended Carnegie runner-up, a distinction then used 29 times in 24 years.
