Cave has always loved children's fiction, stating 'who could possibly understand the world better than children?'

Blown Away was shortlisted in The Guardian's 2006 children's fiction prize, where it was described as 'a thought-provoking novel about how individuals and societies survive when science creates new possibilities that threaten them'. [16]
