Inkys long list
Hop over to the Inside a Dog website to see the titles of the 20 books that have been named on the long list for the Inky Awards.
The ten Australian and ten overseas contenders will be whittled down to 3 of each on 12 September, and the winner of the Golden Inky (Australian) and Silver Inky (overseas) will be announced on 6 November.
All the guidelines are on the web page but voting is restricted to those aged between 12 and 18 and can be done by SMS or email. Readers worldwide are encouraged to participate.
Such a strong long list presents many opportunities for English teachers and Teacher Librarians to promote wide reading. All are compelling reads so the selection of the short list will not be easy.
The site also has details of a Creative Reading competition and information for teachers and librarians.
This is the second year of the Inkys.
