New Zealand Book Awards for Children & Young Adults 2016 - Children's Choice

The New Zealand Book Awards for Children's & Young Adults Finalists have been announced for 2016.  There are two finalist lists:

• A finalist list chosen by the award judging panel from which they will choose the winners and ...
• A finalist list chosen by children at Children's Choice judge schools, this year sponsored by Hells Pizza. It's books on this list that NZ school children like you can vote for.

Over the few weeks or so I'll be adding posts about the different Children's Choice category finalists.
