Bog Child is a historical novel by Siobhan Dowd published by David Fickling (UK) and Random House Children's Books (US) on 9 September 2008,[2] more than a year after her death.[3] Set in the 1980s amid the backdrop of the Troubles of Northern Ireland, it features an 18-year-old boy who must study for exams but experiences "his imprisoned brother's hunger strike, the stress of being a courier for the provisional IRA, and dreams of a murdered girl whose body he discovered in a bog."[1] In flashback and dream there are elements of the murdered girl's prehistoric or protohistoric life and death.
Dowd and Bog Child were named winners of the annual Carnegie Medal, recognising the year's best children's book published in the U.K.[4][5][6]
