Stone Cold is a realistic young-adult novel by Robert Swindells, published by Heinemann in 1993. Set on the streets of London, the first-person narrative switches between Link, a newly homeless sixteen-year-old adjusting to his situation, and Shelter, an ex-army officer scorned after being dismissed from his job, supposedly on 'medical grounds'. Swindells won the annual Carnegie Medal recognising the year's best children's book by a British subject WorldCat participating libraries report holding Danish, German, Catalan, Slovenian, and Korean-language editions.
