The 2014 Inky Awards Shortlist
September 19, 2014
The Inky Awards are for the best new young adult books, as voted for by teen readers.
The Centre for Youth Literature is extremely proud to announce the 2014 Inky Awards shortlist. We had a fantastic team of teen panelists (to find out more about them, visit our judges page on Inside A Dog), who spent hours warring over their favourite Inky Awards longlisted books. Our judges took their responsibilities very seriously, and it was great to see such a considered and diverse discussion about books. Their dedication, passion, and enthusiasm resulted in a smashing selection.
Drum roll please…the 2014 Inky Awards shortlist is…
