New Zealand Post Book Awards for Children and Young Adults 2014





It does now seem a while since the shortlists were announced for this years awards. Here is the full list for you to print out and keep in your wallet!
If you are anything like me you think you remember them all. Of course it is always there on-screen but I find it useful to be able to carry it about with me. Especially helpful at meetings when people ask you who the finalists are and you don’t have your iPad with you.

"Ummmmh...."


More news of the shortlist writers and illustrators coming soon.
