There is no other award in Australia that reflects what teenagers want to read, rather than what we tell them to read. The Inkys are international awards for teenage literature, voted online by the readers of insideadog.com.au. There are three awards: the Golden Inky for an Australian book, the Silver Inky for an international book, and the Creative Reading Prize, won by a young person for a creative response to a book they love, in any format they choose.
The 2008 Inky winners were Town by James Roy (Golden Inky), Before I Die by Jenny Downham (Silver Inky) and Jessica Yu (aged 14) for her creative response to Before I Die.
The winners will be announced on Thursday 26 November (11am–12.30pm) in Experimedia at the State Library. Come along (it’s free), bring your students, meet the winners, talk books, and be surprised!
