Ned Kelly Awards
May 27, 2008
It’s good to see two YA books popping up on the nomination list for the Ned Kelly Awards for Crime Writing, awarded by the Crime Writers Association. The stories don’t have to be about Ned, but the two YA contenders certainly cast a nod in his direction.
Under consideration are:
- Game as Ned, by Tim Pegler, which is also a CBCA Notable Book for Older Readers this year
- Ned Kelly’s Jerilderie Letter, edited by Carole Wilkinson, also shortlisted for the Eve Pownall Award for Information Books
Another terrific little book from last year, Crime Seen by Jenny Pausacker, seems to have missed out.
