Inky Awards - Longlist announced!

Every year the Inky Awards run. Like the Children's Book of the Year Awards someone is voting on the best books written for Young Adults. Only unlike the CBCA awards, the Inky Awards are decided by teenagers. Across Australia, people like you have come up with a list of books they think you will enjoy the most.

There is a Gold Inky for books written by Australian authors, and a Silver Inky for those written by non-Australian authors.
