Awards (verified)
- Phoenix Award (Best Book), 2005: honor; Confirmed directly via the Children's Literature Association's own Phoenix Award page: an Honor Book for 2005 (the 2005 winner was The Catalogue of the Universe by Margaret Mahy). The Phoenix Award honors an English-language children's book published 20 years earlier that did not win a major literary award at the time -- 2005 = books from 1985, matching Fire and Hemlock's UK first-edition year. Registered as `honor`, this project's exact enum value for this case.
