CBCA Shortlist 2008
The shortlist for the CBCA Awards 2008 has been announced. After last year’s blistering reviews by the Scotch CBCA committee, I’m waiting with interest (and a little apprehension on behalf of all Australian authors) to hear your views. First impressions please? Have the judges chosen any books you’ve read?
The books in the Older Readers category are:
Pharaoh: The Boy Who Conquered the Nile by Jackie French
The Ghost’s Child by Sonya Hartnett
Marty’s Shadow by John Heffernan
Love Like Water by Meme McDonald
Black Water by David Metzenthen and
Leaving Barrumbi by Leonie Norrington
Click here to see the ‘Notable’ books from which the shortlist was chosen.
Reviews of any of these books would be snapped up by The Portal - perhaps even rewarded!
